Upon hearing that Gao Yan intended to acquire all three companies, Li Chaonan was startled and even more astonished by Gao Yan's ambitious plans. Not to mention Haitian Entertainment, Huanle Century alone would cost 600 million yuan, and Tianxing Entertainment would cost an even higher 1.2 billion yuan.

Can Gao Yan come up with 1.8 billion?

Li Chaonan was very skeptical about this.

So he asked: Xiao Gao, you're not kidding?

Gao Yan: Brother Li, I'm not kidding. Don't you think these three companies are a perfect match? Haitian has a very strong behind-the-scenes team, Huanle Century has enough star artists, and Tianxing Entertainment has its own distribution channels and cinemas. If we acquire them all and integrate them into one company...

After listening to Gao Yan's analysis, Li Chaonan subconsciously felt that taking over and integrating the three companies was indeed quite promising.

So he asked: "Xiao Gao, 1.8 billion is no small amount. Are you sure you have no problem with the funds?"

Gao Yan: Don't worry, Brother Li, I can still afford this amount of money!

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he sent another WeChat message, asking: Brother Li, do you have any thoughts on this too?

Li Chaonan: After your analysis, I do have some ideas, but my funds can't compare to yours.

Gao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he said: "Brother Li, how about this, you help me acquire these three companies, and once we succeed, I will give you two percent of the shares. After the acquisition and integration are successful, I can let you continue to invest, but the shareholding ratio cannot exceed ten percent, how about that?"

Gao Yansheng's idea of ​​giving away shares wasn't because he was generous, but because Li Chaonan had helped him several times without any reward. He felt he should give Li Chaonan something in return, since mutual benefit is the best bond to connect relationships.

Besides, Li Chaonan is a local bigwig in Shanghai, and with his help, many things will become much easier.

Upon hearing that Gao Yan was willing to give him two percent of the shares, Li Chaonan was shocked.

Even if we calculate based on 1.8 billion, two percent would be worth 36 million. Once integrated into one company, the market value would definitely exceed 1.8 billion, and reaching 2 billion would not be a problem.

Giving away shares worth 40 million so easily, it seems Gao Yan's strength is much greater than he imagined.

Of course, this is just a verbal agreement, and Gao Yan might go back on his word later.

But through these interactions, Li Chaonan felt that Gao Yan was not that kind of person.

Taking a deep breath, Li Chaonan said: "Xiao Gao, I appreciate your kindness, but let's not talk about the shares anymore. I'll invest after you've finished integrating the company!"

Gao Yan replied: "Brother Li, you're being too polite with me. If you hadn't helped me collect information on these three companies, I wouldn't have had the idea of ​​integrating them. However, it's too early to talk about shares. I'll settle the deal with you after the acquisition is successful."

Li Chaonan said: Indeed, none of the acquisitions have been successful, so what's the point of talking about shares? Here's what I'll do: I'll send someone to contact the three companies first, and once I have some leads, I'll let you know to come to Shanghai.

Gao Yan: Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Li. By the way, Brother Li, do you know anyone who sells real estate? I want to buy a property in Shanghai first.

Li Chaonan said: What are your requirements? I have a friend whose family is in the real estate business!

Gao Yan: A villa, location isn't a big requirement, but it must be a detached villa in a quiet environment.

He purchased the property with the intention of placing the coordinates of the Anywhere Door, so that he could travel back and forth between Shanghai and Nanjing. As for why he required it to be in a detached villa, it was out of caution to avoid others discovering his secret of traveling between cities.

Li Chaonan: Okay, I'll ask around for you and let you know when I have news.

After ending his chat with Li Chaonan, Gao Yan sent Chen Youwei a message saying he wouldn't be home for dinner that night and then drove to Yangdong Science and Technology School.

He and Xiao Zhu hadn't seen each other for a week, and he missed her very much.

It took less than five minutes to get to Yangdong Science and Technology School.

Xiao Zhuo appeared at the school gate.

Although she also owns a sports car, she rarely drives it and keeps it in the garage of her villa at No. 15 Yujingyuan.

"Baby, did you miss me?"

Gao Yan asked with a smile.

"I don't want to, I don't want to at all!" But as she spoke, Zhuo Jiangyue pounced on her.

After a deep kiss, their lips parted but their bodies remained entwined: "Baby, what do you want to eat? It's on me."

"Let's buy groceries and cook at home!" Zhuo Jiangyue suggested.

"OK!"

The two then drove to a nearby large supermarket, purchased enough ingredients, and then arrived at No. 15 Yujingyuan.

The two divided the work and cooperated.

Gao Yan was cooking in the kitchen, while Zhuo Jiangyue was cleaning the villa, as it had been uninhabited for some time and was covered in dust.

Because it was a reunion after a week, Gao Yan prepared an exceptionally lavish dinner tonight.

Therefore, by the time he finished cooking all the dishes, Zhuo Jiangyue had already cleaned up and taken a shower and changed into some cool clothes.

Gao Yan reached out and hugged her, kissing her delicate face and saying, "Baby, dressed like this, I don't want to eat dinner. What am I supposed to do if I want to eat you?"

"No, I'm hungry!"

Zhuo Jiangyue said pitifully, knowing full well how powerful her boyfriend was, and considering they hadn't seen each other for a week, it probably wouldn't be over in less than two hours.

Without food, she wouldn't have enough energy to keep going.

"Alright then, let's eat first!"

Gao Yan wasn't as lustful as people thought; he was just teasing his girlfriend!

After a tender dinner, Zhuo Jiangyue was about to clear the dishes when Gao Yan said, "No rush, we can clean up later!"

As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Zhuo upstairs.
