Tang Xiaobao thought that Guo Yingxiong invited him to dinner simply to thank him for saving his life.

Even if it is to express gratitude for a big gift, it is reasonable.

But if there was anything else, he really didn't understand.

So he looked at Guo Yingxiong with a puzzled look on his face.

Guo Yingxiong kept saying, "Come on, come on, eat some food, and let's talk while we eat."

Tang Xiaobao smiled.

Hey, are you still too embarrassed to speak up?

Is it possible to ask for help from someone?

After a while, Guo Yingxiong couldn't help coughing. He said, "Mr. Tang, you know, I've been working in the media industry for many years. I can't say I've achieved much, but I've made some achievements. I have a say in the industry."

Tang Xiaobao nodded, he agreed with this point.

The Cao family and Xiao Jian suffered such a huge setback and had to pay hundreds of billions in compensation. To be honest, Guo Yingxiong played a very important role behind the scenes.

In the information age, the power of the media and public opinion will become increasingly powerful, and sometimes they can really influence the current situation.

He didn't respond, just listened quietly.

Guo Yingxiong said a little embarrassedly: "But I don't know if you understand me, but I am quite self-aware. What I love most in my life is making money. It's not because money is so important to me, but the pleasure of making money is incomparable. It's so enjoyable."

sweat……

Tang Xiaobao was amused.

"You're really direct."

Guo Yingxiong smiled and said, "There are too many people like me in this world. I believe that Mr. Tang also enjoys the process of making money, rather than really liking to have a lot of money, right?"

"Hey, I like money too."

"Mr. Tang, you're joking. Okay, let's get back to the point."

Guo Yingxiong changed the subject and continued, "I'd like to transfer my shares in Orange News Network to you. What do you think? Oh, I own 32 points of Orange News Network, making me the largest shareholder. However, I'm not directly involved in management. My son handles the operational aspects, and he's very good at it."

Tang Xiaobao was shocked and asked in confusion, "Transfer it to me? Why? You know, Orange News Network is one of the top news portals in China, with a huge influence. Why are you transferring it? Is there a problem with the management?"

"No, the business is doing very well now, generating billions of dollars in revenue annually. Of course, the actual profit isn't that much. The company has just recently expanded and is already involved in online game development and operations, so we've invested a lot of money. However, in the second half of next year, we'll begin collaborating with several domestic gaming giants in the online game sector. By then, I believe the company's situation will be even better..."

Tang Xiaobao frowned: "Since you say it's so good, why do you want to transfer it? Also, isn't your son particularly suitable for this job? He is doing well. Why? I really don't understand."

"It's very simple. He can continue to be the CEO of the company in the future. As long as you trust him, he will never let you down. I'm talking about my eldest son." Guo Yingxiong said with a smile.

Tang Xiaobao said, "Just be frank. Although I cured your illness, it doesn't make sense for you to give me such a big company, considering your personality."

"clever."

Guo Yingxiong gave a thumbs-up and said seriously, "On the one hand, I'm reporting on Mr. Tang's life-saving grace. I think Mr. Tang is now interested in developing a career in the entertainment industry. And you have a company like Haitian Entertainment under your control, with so many artist friends. Controlling a media outlet is a huge help to you, don't you understand? On the other hand, I also have a request of yours. As I said, when it comes to true friends, I like to be straightforward. I don't like playing tricks or scheming. That's really boring."

What he said makes a lot of sense.

Tang Xiaobao's heart moved.

"We at Orange News Network have a large team of writers and reporters. And I can also tell you that my son has a network of online trolls, numbering around 50,000 people, you know."

Guo Yingxiong blinked.

Water army?

Tang Xiaobao was moved again.

It feels great to have 50,000 mouths speaking for you.

For example, if you have a fight with someone, there will be tens of thousands of people scolding you on your behalf.

In the past, whenever he fought with others online, his die-hard fans would come to his aid.

But it is not convenient to use after all. If you have such a water army, who will dare to curse in the future?

Tang Xiaobao thought evilly.

"Well, your frankness is beyond my expectation. In that case, I will also be honest and say that I am also very tempted by your generous gift. However, everything is a matter of reciprocity. Please tell me your conditions first."

Guo Yingxiong felt a little embarrassed and blushed: "Boss Tang, do you think I'm too realistic?"

“It’s quite realistic.”

Tang Xiaobao glared at him.

Seeing Guo Yingxiong's embarrassed expression, he continued with a smile: "However, I like realistic people like you. A true villain is always more popular than a hypocrite. Tell me, what are the conditions?"

Guo Yingxiong breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "You scared me to death. Come on, let's go again."

He raised his glass and they clinked it.

"Mr. Tang, to be honest, most of the businesses I've been involved in and the industries I've invested in over the years aren't real industries. They're about capital and information. Honestly, that's very adaptable to this era, but people can't just stay the same. I'm a little fed up with it now and want to get into the pharmaceutical industry. For that, I definitely have to look to you. Do you understand me?"

Tang Xiaobao understood it immediately.

In fact, he had suspected this before.

However, he did not expect that Guo Yingxiong would be so direct and honest in making this deal with him.

It has some *nudity* in it, but it seems really hard to dislike.

But they had only just met for a short time. How could he dare? How could he have the nerve to bring this up?

Well, that's his character.

Tang Xiaobao smiled bitterly helplessly.

"Mr. Tang, what do you mean?"

Guo Yingxiong had been observing his expression and asked anxiously at this time.

Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I suddenly thought of something else. I understand what you mean. You want to try some business, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"You want to develop in the pharmaceutical industry, right?"

“Yes, yes, yes!”

"clear."

Tang Xiaobao picked up the food and didn't say anything for a while.

Guo Yingxiong looked at him eagerly.

After a while, Tang Xiaobao looked up at Guo Yingxiong and chuckled: "Why are you looking at me? And your expression really makes me feel a little creepy and uncomfortable."

With a wry smile, Guo Yingxiong said, "I'm just anxious."

"You're so rich and old, but you still have so many ideas. You're so driven."

“Making money is addictive!”
