After all, the shareholders have been with Southwest Entertainment since its inception, and their emotional ties to the company are stronger than their relationship with Shen Ruchu. It would be difficult to persuade them to give up their shares in a short period of time.
"Hmm."
After uttering those last few words, Lu Nanchen continued with his packing.
Yu Ting remained seated on a chair, lost in his thoughts.
Without too much pondering, he dialed Song Zhan’s number.
Due to the numerous incidents happening in the company recently, Song Zhan answered Yu Ting’s call hastily as he was occupied with some paperwork, apparently making arrangements with his subordinate staff members.
"Hello? What’s up?"
"Help me contact some shareholders of Southwest Entertainment when you have time."
"Are you really planning on buying, then... Okay, I’ll keep an eye on it."
"Hmm, how are things on your end?"
"Quite well. We’ve managed to retain Tang Siyi."
The two men gossiped about miscellaneous topics till nine in the evening, when the conversation ended.
Meanwhile, Yu Ting received a text message from a shareholder surnamed Yu providing a coffee shop address, even including the specific table number, showing his sincere intention to negotiate with Yu Ting.
The next morning, Yu Ting and Lu Nanchen said goodbye to the production team and the other three groups of guests, and they briefly parted ways.
Lu Nanchen, carrying his luggage, went to buy a house in Qingheng City as his temporary lodging for the week.
Yu Ting headed to the prearranged coffee shop to meet up with the man. The coffee shop was a well-concealed location, demonstrating the man’s consideration in avoiding potential damage to Southwest Entertainment’s reputation if the news leaked.
Yu Ting arrived at the location about ten minutes later and saw the shareholder, a man in his forties or fifties, at the precise table designated.
Yu Ting might not have known him, but the man must have recognized Yu Ting, a rising star in the entertainment industry. As the man noticed Yu Ting, he immediately responded.
That reassured Yu Ting that this was indeed the shareholder. He briskly approached, slightly bowed, and stretched out a hand towards the man.
The man stood and reached out his hand, gripping Yu Ting’s.
"Mr. Yu."
"Mr. Yu."
"I didn’t expect Mr. Yu to come so early." After sitting down, Yu Ting made a comment, and placed his crossed hands on the table, "We are both busy people, so I’ll cut straight to the point."
"I want to purchase all your shares. Not just yours, but those of some other shareholders as well."
"And then surpass Shen Ruchu’s shares, take over her position, and take command of Southwest Entertainment."
"Once Southwest Entertainment is back on track, we can discuss your re-entry as a shareholder."
"You won’t incur losses in this deal."
Having said a lot, Yu Ting laid out all the points he wanted to convey. The rest was up to the man’s decision.
The man sat solemnly on the bench, sipped his strong coffee, and his mental processing seemed to be faster than last night on the phone.
If Southwest Entertainment continues its current state, it’s only a matter of time before it runs at a loss.
"Alright, I trust you, Mr. Yu."
"Haha, great, then... here’s to a pleasant collaboration."
"Here’s to a pleasant collaboration."
After a few minutes of discussion, Yu Ting presented the man with a share transfer form that he had prepared in advance. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The man spent around ten minutes to scrutinize the document, and once he confirmed its legitimacy, he signed it.
Regardless of his feelings towards Shen Ruchu, his affection for Southwest Entertainment was profound.
