Shen Fang shook his head and looked at Xu Xin.
"Sister Xin, we need to go all out with this act. We'll need Baring Asia to add fuel to the fire later."
Xu Xin nodded: "I understand what you mean. I will invite the media over and announce to the public that we have sold our shares to you."
Shen Fang looked at Xu Xin with a smile.
“Speaking to smart people is that simple. What I want to say to Sister Xin is not what I’m saying publicly, but that I want to take back the shares of Baring Asia.”
Xu Xin was stunned when she heard this.
"What do you mean?"
Shen Fang flashed his bright white teeth.
"Sister Xin, you've been with Baring Asia for so many years, yet you haven't become a top-tier partner. I think there must be a reason for that."
Xu Xin remained silent upon hearing this.
"Mr. Shen, you are unaware of the unspoken rules of our industry: the most top-tier partners are never mothers."
Shen Fang looked at Xu Xin and said, "Sister Xin, I've done my research on your annual salary at Baring Asia, and it's probably no more than 2 million US dollars."
Xu Xin nodded.
"almost."
Shen Fang stretched out a slap.
“I’m offering you $5 million a year to help me manage my investment company.”
Xu Xin smiled upon hearing this: "You want me to help you acquire NetEase shares in Baring Asia, and then offer me a high salary to poach me? What do you call this tactic?"
Shen Fang smiled: "A covert maneuver."
Xu Xin smiled: "What if I don't agree?"
Shen Fang flashed his bright white teeth: "Sister Xu Xin, you're a smart person. The boss of Baring Asia is obviously a short-sighted person. Otherwise, why would he be in such a hurry to sell his shares in Tencent and NetEase? This kind of boss is not worth your loyalty. You are an investment genius, and you can have full control of my funds at any time. I am a very farsighted and generous boss."
Xu Xin fell silent upon hearing this: "How did you know that Baring Asia is preparing to sell its shares in NetEase?"
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Do you even need to think about this? When Tencent was about to fail, you sold it once. Now that NetEase is failing, you'll definitely sell it again. Your boss is the type who invests in a particular sector. He thinks the internet industry might be successful in the future, but he's the type who casts a wide net. The internet industry is indeed a blue ocean, but to become a giant in this field, you need a good leader. Pony Ma is one, and so is CEO Ding. It's a pity that your boss isn't an investor in a particular sector, while you, Sister Xu, are an investor in a particular sector just like me."
Xu Xin smiled and said, "In addition to an annual salary of 5 million US dollars, I also want a courtyard house in Beijing, a villa, a Porsche 911 car, and three assistants, all of whom are my subordinates, with an annual salary of 1 million. These are my conditions. If you can agree to them, I will agree."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "I'm not short of money. Once Xiao Kun's matter is settled, go find a courtyard house for Sister Xin. If it's a villa, arrange it in Xishan. Call me now to order a car."
Shen Kun gave an OK sign.
Ding Sanshi clicked his tongue in amazement: "Holy crap!!! Mr. Shen, you're a real tycoon!!!"
Little Ma laughed loudly: "My brother may not have much else, but he has a lot of money."
At this moment, Ding Sanshi was full of confidence. With Chen Fang and Tencent around, he should be able to stand up. With these plans, if NetEase doesn't take off, he'll be finished.
Shen Fang looked at Ding Sanshi: "President Ding, these next few days you've been acting all high and mighty, dragging your company's employees out to play pranks all the time. You've got a great presence right now. Before the mastermind shows up, you're just going to be all high and mighty. Make sure your acting is convincing."
Ding Sanshi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm a top-notch actor."
Xu Xin smiled at Shen Fang: "Since you're going to be my boss, then I have some good news for you. I've almost finalized the negotiations with MIH and IGO. MIH is asking for $20 million USD, and IGO is asking for $12 million USD."
Little Ma, Zeng Liqing, and Shen Fang exchanged a glance. Their faces were filled with surprise and delight.
"Thank you, Sister Xin. I'd like to toast you."
Shen Fang raised his glass and clinked it with Xu Xin's. To be honest, Shen Fang hadn't expected to acquire Tencent's shares at such a low price.
"Brother Ma, you and Brother Zeng handle this. This time, all the shares being bought back are from personal loans. You two go and buy back the shares, and we can go public with full ownership this time. We'll get absolute control and can also issue more new shares."
Little Ma and Zeng Liqing nodded.
"Leave this to us. You keep an eye on things, Lao Ding. Lao Zeng and I will take back the shares."
Shen Fang raised his wine glass and smiled at everyone.
"Come on, let's all set up our grand ambitions and get ready."
Everyone toasted.
