Chapter 816: Chapter 342 Gu Tongshu: Did you just fucking move a box of frozen pears for me?
Su Huai only stayed in Changshen for a day, checking on the site selection; the feeling wasn’t particularly good, so he called them back to select again.
On the sixth night, he hurried back to the Imperial Capital.
The first thing after returning to the capital, of course, was to bond with his adorable daughter.
Forget the outdated chat about sleepiness; the excitement and the trembling hands were the main event, taking turns drinking till stars danced before their eyes, and then blissfully collapsing.
After waking up, they each got busy with their own things.
In modern society, this kind of interaction actually feels more secure; it’s a nightmare when one person has nothing to do, and completely indescribable if both are idle and waiting for death. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Pei Shuyu continued the preparations for her birthday celebration.
At the moment, the live broadcasting industry wasn’t very keen on huge birthday celebrations, with the embarrassment of an empty crowd often worse than a low-key affair.
Of course, Yu was different; even if for the reputation of Xingyu, she had to put on a big show.
By the seventh day’s warm-up, it climbed onto Weibo’s trending searches, naturally hovering around the 80th rank, with just a little effort it could break into the top 10.
But Xingyu or Su Huai, of course, wouldn’t be so arrogant.
The core idea was not to pay Weibo; they’d accept whatever natural popularity they could get, as the broken platform’s users weren’t Yuji’s audience anyway.
The main audience for the birthday celebration were still the major platforms in the live broadcasting circle.
The main pitch was: You bring external traffic, and I’ll suck your blood.
While Dog Star was reluctantly preparing, they were also urgently contacting Su Huai, asking if they could talk again.
This wasn’t their first time seeking a discussion with Su Huai, but he had never given them the chance.
This time, however, Dog Star’s Mr. Wang brought the vice president from Tencent OMG to visit Xingyu in the Imperial Capital.
Su Huai couldn’t avoid them and had to receive them.
Then they chatted about all sorts of things until Vice President Ren asked, "Would your company be willing to accept our Tencent’s investment? The valuation is negotiable; for two billion US dollars, we would only take 40%."
That valued Xingyu at five billion US dollars; you have to say, quite generous.
But Su Huai definitely couldn’t agree, not because of the valuation, but because he couldn’t give Tencent that many shares.
"We can discuss below 10%, but anything over 10% is absolutely impossible."
Su Huai smiled, firmly pushing back, yet not completely shutting the door.
Vice President Ren let out a sigh of relief, then followed up, "In fact, we have been assessing your company and Dog Star Platform for some time. One of you has a platform, the other has resources; sincere cooperation can surpass Douyu and Huya in no time."
He could test Su Huai, and naturally, Su Huai could probe back.
"Tencent has already invested in quite a few platforms, right? Don’t you control both Douyu and Huya? Why are you still interested in a mid-tier player like mine?"
Vice President Ren’s eyes twitched, a subtle movement, but Su Huai noticed.
"Not at all, as the vice president of the OMG business group, of course, I hope for more investments, but the investment department has its own pace, and the dream of a unified blueprint can only remain a dream..."
"Oh?" Su Huai nonchalantly asked, "But how come I heard that you’re almost in agreement with Kuaishou?"
This time, Vice President Ren really struggled to maintain his composure.
"Haha, Mr. Su, you’re very well-informed... Indeed, there are talks, but it’s far from settled. Right now, with just a few decent platforms available, everybody wants a piece!"
After a back-and-forth of beating around the bush, Su Huai understood one thing—
Tencent was most interested in the platform side; as for the mid-tier industry like MCNs, they didn’t really take it seriously.
True, logically speaking, MCNs were indeed much weaker when compared to platforms.
Had it not been for Xingyu’s sudden rise and making such a commotion, a behemoth like Tencent wouldn’t have paid attention.
"Let’s talk next time then; the offer for 10% always stands."
Even when seeing the guests out, Su Huai didn’t pick up on the matter of Yuji’s contract with Dog Star.
Mr. Wang couldn’t take it anymore and asked, almost pleadingly, "Mr. Su, what’s wrong with Dog Star?"
Su Huai responded, "Dog Star is fine everywhere, but Suhua’s Kuaishou and Mr. Wang’s Panda are better, and they offered more money and greater pressure. Money, I might earn less, but pressure, can you bear it for me?"
Mr. Wang despondently remained silent, his retreating figure the epitome of loneliness.
In the instant Gou Huai flung out that huge pot, Wang Siming sneezed continuously at home.
And not long after, he received Su Huai’s ultimatum, "Wang, if you don’t give me a sure answer, I can only talk to Kuaishou. Oh, and tonight, Brother Chen has made an appointment for me with Suhua."
"Fuck!"
Wang Siming cursed on the spot, furious.
"Isn’t it just that the investment for stock exchange issue hasn’t been settled? Yuji’s move to Panda TV, wasn’t that already agreed upon and still changeable?"
"Both matters are connected, can’t discuss them separately."
"I’m not refusing to pay, I’ve even raised the signing fee to 320 million for four years, what more do you want?"
Su Huai sighed, "Why put yourself through this? In a while, won’t you have to go out and raise more funds?"
Wang Siming’s retort came out swiftly, "When I go out to look for investments, people pay me in cash. Accepting your investment, I don’t get a penny; it’s all just an empty promise!"
"How can exchanging stocks be called an empty promise?"
Su Huai argued confidently, "The money you find outside demands minimum guarantees, but I’m in the same boat as you!"
"Bullshit! I’d rather sign a guaranteed buyback agreement!"
Alright, alright, since you insist so much, I will not hold back.
Su Huai perked up, pressing on, "You want cash, right? Gu there has ten billion, how much more can you offer?"
