Shi Jing wasn't a skilled negotiator. In her previous life, she possessed a fortune of tens of millions, and in this life, with the help of the Little God of Wealth, her wealth had increased even further. It could be said that, given enough money, rebuilding an entire cinema chain wouldn't be a problem.

However, since she could use the easy mode, she didn't want to go straight to the hard mode, which was why she was willing to negotiate with the Fang family father and daughter.

Her attitude was very clear from the beginning; both sides put their conditions on the table without beating around the bush.

Shi Jing smiled and said, "President Fang, it's true that I'm somewhat interested in Tianyu, but I'm sure you're also aware of the problems Tianyu has."

"Outdated equipment, broken funding, and chaotic shareholder structure. Investing 1 billion yuan can indeed solve the immediate problems, but in the long run, there are still many hidden dangers."

These issues were known not only to outsiders like Shi Jing, but also to the Fang family father and daughter.

“...Yes.” Mr. Fang couldn’t deny it either.

"Miss Shi, what do you mean?" Mr. Fang asked.

"Mr. Fang, I want 51% of Tianyu's shares."

"What?" Fang Xue exclaimed in surprise. Compared to President Fang, she was still too young. "Dad, how can that be..."

"Don't worry, Xiaoxue." Although Mr. Fang's expression was not good, he remained calm. "Miss Shi, you should know that Tianyu is the culmination of my many years of hard work. I can't just hand it over to someone else like this."

"Gentlemen, why don't you hear my thoughts?"

"Go ahead," Mr. Fang said in a deep voice.

“As Ms. Fang said before, I want to develop a long-term career in the film industry, and owning my own cinema chain is quite necessary. But Tianyu currently has too many shareholders, which is not safe for me,” Shi Jing said with a smile. “Therefore, owning 51% of Tianyu’s shares is a guarantee for myself.”

Before the two could react, Shi Jing continued, "I can increase the investment to 1.5 billion. The management of Tianyu will still belong to you, President Fang, but the number of shareholders must be reduced."

After a moment of contemplation, Mr. Fang asked, "Ms. Shi, you don't want the management rights of Tianyu? What about the shareholders' share?"

“Holding 51% of the shares is my bottom line. As for the remaining shares that I’ve acquired, I can buy them if Mr. Fang doesn’t want them.” Shi Jing stated his position directly. “As for management rights, I’m sure Mr. Fang has realized that I have to go to school and manage my own company, so I can’t be in two places at once. As for Tianyu, Mr. Fang has put so much effort into it over the years, so I’m sure he won’t treat it unfairly.”

Shi Jing is not worried about the Fang family father and daughter undermining her authority. Just like with Shi Yun Investment, she will not interfere with the management rights, but that does not mean she will completely ignore them.

The Fang father and daughter exchanged glances, not immediately agreeing. Shi Jing wasn't in a hurry; she had already lowered her bottom line, and whether they were happy or not was up to them. She would continue to oversee the land deal, and if things dragged on for too long, she could always find a different plan, it would just require a little more effort.

“Ms. Shi, we still need to discuss this,” said Mr. Fang.

"Okay. Please contact me after you've made up your minds, but please do so as soon as possible."

"Definitely," the father and daughter said.

These two people would definitely not agree, not to mention the shares held by Fang's relatives. If they agreed, now would be the best time to buy back those shares.

Shi Jing wasn't in a hurry; she knew very well that Tian Yu was the one who was truly anxious.

On the same day, the cooperation was finalized. After the contract was signed, Tianyu needed to cooperate with Shijing immediately to complete the land transfer and settle the bank loan. Of the 1.5 billion investment and 500 million land fee, Shijing first transferred 500 million for the land fee and 500 million as a deposit. The remaining 1 billion would be received in two installments after the shareholding was settled.

The moment Shi Jing acquired the land, she contacted a design institute to begin the design process. She explained her requirements to the designer: the office area, leisure area, entertainment area, company-owned training building, and dormitory would all be included. More importantly, it had to meet the Little Goddess of Wealth's demands, even if it meant sacrificing some aesthetics—this was crucial to the completion of her billion-dollar mission.

The requirements set by Xiao Caishen were quite stringent, even exceeding current general standards, which surprised the designer. Different standards lead to different plans and building materials, and directly affect construction costs. However, Shi Jing insisted on this point, willing to spend more money to meet the standards.

Since the client made this request, the design team had no choice but to comply.

Once the design plan was finalized, Shijing also selected a bidding agency to handle the bidding process for supervision and construction.

Shi Jing didn't have high requirements for construction costs; the first phase of the task reward had already been received after the land was acquired. However, she had high requirements for the construction company's qualifications, past projects, fire safety, and construction period, which she repeatedly emphasized to the bidding agency.

If anyone dares to mess with her about this, she will definitely fight to the death.

The mission only has two years, so there's no room for her to make any mistakes.

For this matter, as the client, Shijing also specially sought out professionals for assistance, providing double protection.

Shi Jing's attitude was quite clear from the beginning. The bidding agency she found was quite reliable. Shi Jing would follow up during this period, and if she really couldn't come, she would arrange for Miao Chen to follow up. The progress was very smooth.

The entire process took nearly three months. From numerous bidding companies, a construction company with excellent qualifications and experience was finally selected, with a projected completion time of 15 months. Shi Jing calculated that more than four months had passed since the task was announced, meaning there was still some time to spare before the expected completion date.

After selecting a construction company and signing a contract, Shi Jing made the payment immediately, and the personnel she arranged also arrived on site.

Only after all this was done did Shi Jing finally breathe a sigh of relief. As for the other half of the relief, that would of course have to wait until the mission was completely completed.

With the matter settled, she immediately gave Miao Chen and the others a few days off. Yes, she now has more than one assistant. This period has been incredibly busy, and Miao Chen's constant travel has been quite tiring, so Shi Jing hired another assistant to help him.

She and Qi Shuang hadn't seen each other for a long time, so she quickly contacted Qi Shuang to invite her out for dinner on Friday. She had been extremely busy lately, flying straight to the capital during holidays, and had lost a lot of weight, so she desperately needed to treat herself.

The two met at a hot pot restaurant, a long-established and authentic hot pot restaurant in Beijing. The restaurant didn't have private rooms, but Shi Jing still managed to reserve a good spot.

She arranged to meet Qi Shuang at a hot pot restaurant. She arrived early, but Qi Shuang had a class in the afternoon and would arrive after class, so she was a little slower.

After waiting for about half an hour, Qi Shuang finally arrived. The first thing Qi Shuang exclaimed upon seeing Shi Jing was, "My goodness, did you go on a diet? You used to have a little bit of fat, but now it's all gone!"
