Chapter 34 Equity Transfer

"President Zhou."

Lin Rui received a text message from Zhou Rongze yesterday, asking him to come to the office.

However, I was busy with exams yesterday, so we agreed to meet this morning.

Zhou Rongze was writing furiously on the Xuan paper in front of him when he saw Lin Rui knocking on the door, so he put down his brush.

"Please come in."

Soon, the two were sitting face to face, with a faint smile on Zhou Rongze's face.

Having spent half his life in business, except for the first few years, he hadn't felt this spirited in a long time.

Tianrui Entertainment's stock price is currently soaring, having broken through four consecutive daily price limits.

Business collaborations from all sides are pouring in, and Zhou Rongze is confident that within two years, he can break the three-way balance of power held by Tianyi, Tianhai, and Rolling.

Of course, all of this is predicated on Lin Rui.

Zhou Rongze rarely misjudges people; he saw a glimmer of hope for breaking the deadlock in Lin Rui, and this confidence came from nowhere.

For this reason, he spent several nights in a row thinking about the contract issue with Lin Rui.

Several plans were drafted, but none of them were satisfactory.

Ultimately, he made a surprising decision.

"Mr. Zhou, what's this?"

Picking up the document Zhou Rongze pushed in front of him, he took a closer look and realized it was an equity transfer agreement.

Five percent of the shares isn't much.

But for listed companies with assets exceeding one billion, that's not a small number.

In other words, this transfer agreement is worth at least fifty million!

"Signing fee".

A glint flashed in Zhou Rongze's eyes: "I consider myself to have a good eye for people. You will be a trendsetter for Tianrui and even the entertainment industry in Xiazhou in the future."

"I want to invest in you while you are still developing."

"If we want to invest in you again in the future, it will cost far more than this price."

Lin Rui put the transfer agreement back on the table.

"What, not satisfied?"

Zhou Rongze frowned slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

What do I need to give in return?

Lin Rui looked serious.

"You don't need to pay any price."

"Your decision to stay or leave will not be subject to any restrictions."

"This agreement is purely between you and me, unrelated to business, only about personal relationships. These five percent of the shares are also transferred from my personal shareholding, and will not harm the interests of other shareholders."

"As I just said, this is just my personal investment."

"Therefore, you don't need to bear any psychological pressure."

"Of course, you can also interpret this as a gift given free of charge."

Zhou Rongze spoke casually, but the truth remains unknown.

He was, after all, a businessman, and businessmen are driven by profit, which meant he would never do a business that would lose money.

Looking at Lin Rui, one can't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

Zhou Rongze, what great courage!

He understands that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

But once he signs the agreement today, it means that from now on, he will be completely tied to this small company.

Whether in his past life or this one, his principle in dealing with people is to repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude.

Presumably, Zhou Rongze had this in mind when he drafted this agreement.

He was betting that Lin Rui wouldn't forget his kindness.

He's betting that Lin Rui can bring a better future to Tianrui Entertainment.

He is not only gambling on an unknown tomorrow, but also on the hearts of people with ulterior motives!

Lin Rui is not even twenty years old yet!

There are too many uncertainties involved!

This was a huge gamble!

Zhou Rongze had no idea whether he could win.

However, his actions earned him Lin Rui's respect.

“I rarely submit to anyone, but Mr. Zhou, you are one of them.”

Lin Rui signed his name on the agreement.

…

Inside the elevator, Lin Rui's thoughts were in turmoil.

After signing the transfer agreement with Zhou Rongze, the other party told him that Tianrui Entertainment's current market value has reached 4 billion.

Moreover, its market value is still steadily increasing.

It is expected to break the 5 billion mark in the near future!

Doesn't that mean that 5% of the shares are worth over 200 million?

Although valuations cannot be used as a reference for actual prices and contain some inflated figures, I can still consider myself a successful person who has achieved a small goal.

bite!

A system notification sounded in my mind.

Lin Rui's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately checked the system interface.
