"Rules are fixed, but people are alive. It's probably about the same. When it comes to specific implementation, we don't follow them too strictly. If you two want to join our club, we'd definitely be happy to help you. You don't have to pay a single cent in dues, and you can even become a top-level member." Zhao Haiyang asked Tang Xiaobao, "Isn't that right?"

Tang Xiaobao nodded.

"Forget it, we don't come to the club very often." Ji Min said with a smile.

He wouldn't be so stupid as to accept benefits before discussing business.

You have to show your strength first, then we can talk later.

However, he really didn't expect that Tang Xiaobao was also one of the founders of the Hailong Club.

Don't underestimate this club.

Everyone knows that the members of a club represent connections and resources.

However, Ji Min still recognized Tang Xiaobao's strength. The key was that he was reluctant to give up his own brand. He had run it for so many years with great difficulty, but he didn't want to end up with nothing.

Haitian Entertainment’s ability to persist until now and achieve its past glory are inseparable from Cheng Nan.

Ji Min has always been grateful to this good friend and brother.

He offered equity to Cheng Nan many times, but was rejected by the latter. However, whenever the company encountered any problems, Cheng Nan was always willing to take responsibility, did a lot for the company, and saved the company from danger several times.

So for Ji Min, Haitian Entertainment belongs to him and Cheng Nan as well.

Before coming, the two had a long discussion.

If anyone else had come to discuss the acquisition, they would have angrily refused.

Being able to hold on for so many years, even if they are barely surviving, has trained them to have courage and determination, and they will never sell the company.

But because it was Tang Xiaobao, they had to be cautious.

Tang Xiaobao is so famous now that even Xiao Jian cannot compete with him.

When people talk about Tang Xiaobao, some key words always appear.

Princess Alice, God of Cookery, Shenlong Regeneration Pills, Shenlong Pharmaceuticals, Honorary Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Miraculous Doctor...

Over the past year, Tang Xiaobao has created too many miracles.

Who can go from being penniless to becoming a billionaire in just one year?

No one has ever really done it except Tang Xiaobao.

There are many people who can make money, and many people become rich overnight, but who is truly penniless?

To put it bluntly, these days, the people who really make money must be those who already have strong financial support.

The richer you are, the easier it is for you to make money; the poorer you are, the harder it is for you to make money.

Therefore, the gap between the rich and the poor is exaggerated.

Tang Xiaobao is an object of admiration for many people.

Ji Min and Cheng Nan also admired him and were a little curious about him.

That's why they agreed to meet with Tang Xiaobao.

Among them, the Ouyang family did some work, and there was also Zhao Haiyang's face, but more importantly, it was their curiosity and expectations about Tang Xiaobao.

They want to meet the legendary Tang Xiaobao.

Seeing is believing. Only by seeing can you understand better.

As for selling the company.

Yes, the company is now in great trouble again. If it cannot be sold in time, it will continue to make losses and may even be swallowed up by a few big companies sooner or later.

Selling shares now is the best option.

But Ji Min has given too much to the company over the years. For the sake of the company, he sold his real estate and all the assets that could be sold. He regarded the company as his own child, and he was reluctant to give up the Haitian Entertainment brand.

He was unwilling to go this far unless it was absolutely necessary.

After chatting for a while, we finally got to the point.

Zhao Haiyang said, "Brother Ji, Brother Cheng, I'm just a middleman today. We've been chatting for so long, and you should have a certain understanding of us. We are both very straightforward people and don't like to play tricks. That's why we can become brothers. I believe you will have a personal experience on this point. After all, you two have been brothers for many years. So let's be frank. Tang Xiaobao is now going to enter the entertainment industry and wants to acquire your Haitian Entertainment. Let's all be open and speak frankly. How about it?"

Ji Min and Cheng Nan looked at each other, both feeling amused and helpless.

They really didn't expect Zhao Haiyang to be so straightforward.

That’s good, it’s better if we talk openly.

So, Ji Min said seriously, "Since Mr. Zhao can be so frank, then we won't hide anything. Everyone knows the glory of Haitian Entertainment in the past. Over the years, I have treated the company as my own child and have persisted with it desperately. It's not just because of that breath, but more because I can't bear to part with this signboard. In my life, I have done one thing, that is, to develop a Haitian Studio into the later Haitian Entertainment Group. Without this company, my life would have no meaning. But now the company is in trouble, and Mr. Tang and Mr. Zhao are here to talk so sincerely, so I have to show my sincerity. I want to make it clear that if possible, I will definitely sell the company to you first. There is no reason. I trust the character of the two of you. But I just want to ask Mr. Tang, why did you enter the entertainment industry, and why did you come to us, Haitian Entertainment?"

Tang Xiaobao nodded, took a sip of wine, and thought for a moment before he spoke, "Old Zhao, if nothing else, has accurately judged my character. I don't like beating around the bush, so since Brother Ji asked me, I'll be frank. As the saying goes, even if business fails, friendship remains. I also want to make friends with you two, the kind of close friends. To be honest, I'm quite touched that you've maintained such a good friendship for so many years. It also shows your character."

After a pause, he answered Ji Min's question directly.

"First, let me answer why I want to enter the entertainment industry. There are many reasons. Don't laugh when I tell you this. I'm too boring. Now that the company is expanding anyway, I might as well get involved in various industries. Only then will my life be wonderful. I'm not short of money now. I really am not short of money. You may not believe me, but if I want to make money, I can go out and treat wealthy people or gamble on gemstones. I can make tens or even hundreds of billions. Even if I don't work now, I can't spend all of it in several lifetimes. Moreover, my Shenlong Pharmaceutical is almost a monopoly industry. You can probably imagine that just a few new drugs can make me money continuously."

"Of course, it's not just boredom. I have a few friends who want to develop in the entertainment industry. I don't want them to get hurt, so I want to start my own company and sign them. At least no one can take advantage of them. So, I really don't like some of the trends in the industry. Why can those big names, directors, and entertainment industry bosses just take advantage of whoever they want? Isn't this bullying? Oh, I'm not talking about you two, haha, I just want to change this trend."

Tang Xiaobao smiled and continued, "As for why I chose Haitian Entertainment, it's very simple. First, I value your company's existing talent system and good development framework. Everything is ready, so there's no need to go to great lengths to recruit people. I also respect your character and admire your courage and talent. I wonder if my answer satisfies you two, gentlemen?"
