Chapter 455 Who can't get along with money?
"What? Impossible."
After hearing Jin Feng's request, Qi Liang stood up suddenly and answered excitedly.
As the CEO of the company, how could he do such a thing?
"Why are you in such a hurry? As long as we are willing to help him do this, the investor promised to give us 200 million as a deposit in advance, and give us the remaining 800 million after the deal is done."
Seeing the other party's fierce reaction, Jin Feng had anticipated it and spoke calmly.
"Didn't you say 1 billion?"
After a moment's pause, Qi Liang asked back.
"How can anyone have so much cash? It's 1 billion between the two of us."
After hearing what the other party said, Jin Feng felt more confident.
"That means each of us will only get 500 million. Lao Jin, are you blinded by the money? You know, if we do this, the Weike project will be ruined, the Mingliu network will be ruined, and if we're not careful, we'll have to go to jail. If we wait until our company goes public, our net worth will be at least 1 billion, and no more. Isn't it good to make a lot of money in a safe way?"
With a sneer, Qi Liang retorted bluntly.
As a CEO, he is willing to sell out the company in which he owns shares, when the shares have a market value of more than 1 billion. He is not stupid.
On the contrary, he wanted to persuade the other party to give up this foolish idea that should not have been had.
Everything is getting better and everyone is about to achieve success, but don't be blinded by money.
"You can't calculate it that way, Lao Qi. We all know that the market value is fake and can't be cashed out. If we get paid, we only make a few hundred thousand a month. If it goes up in the future, it will be millions at best. How much can we make in a year? At best, we are just high-level workers. Just like you said, when our company goes public, everyone will be worth 1 billion, but is that really going to happen?"
"We are only in the A round of investment now, and we only have 4% of our shares left. If they are diluted continuously in the future, how much will we have left after the listing? Also, Mr. Zhou did not give us the right to choose. He set up another company to completely control our shares. Do you think the so-called market value can be converted into money by then?"
"It's different now. As long as we agree to the other party's conditions, we can get 500 million in cash immediately after the deal is done. If we put this money in the bank and earn interest, we can get tens of millions a year. We can take our wives and children with us and travel all year round. And with consumption like today, we can come whenever we want. We can enter the real billionaire era ahead of time."
"Besides, there is no risk of violating the law by doing this. At most, it will be a matter of conscience. Anyone would know how to make this choice."
Seeing that Qi Liang was unmoved, Jin Feng analyzed the situation step by step.
500 million, such a huge amount of money, taking some risks is not a problem at all.
After getting the money, he ran away, and even if the big boss wanted to take revenge, there was nothing he could do.
"I don't want to retire so soon. We have worked so hard for so long just to realize our dreams, which can't be bought with any amount of money."
After listening to Jin Feng's analysis, Qi Liang calmed down and expressed his own thoughts.
The reason why he insisted on staying in Mingliu Network even when it went bankrupt was because of the ideals of those few people at that time.
Money is not the first priority. Although this huge sum of money is tempting, he cannot sell his conscience for it.
"That's easy. The other party said that as long as you still want to work in this industry, the CEO of the Chinese region of the old Sina will be yours. After all, the foundation and potential of the old Sina are not comparable to our current Mingliu Network."
Seeing that Qi Liang was interested, Jin Feng felt slightly delighted and told him another promise made by the big moneybag.
If he was still committed to his ideals and stayed with the other party until the end, even when other companies offered him a monthly salary of tens of thousands, but in front of the huge sum of 500 million, Jinfeng felt that there was nothing he could not sell.
If so, it means the price is not right.
"That one is from Jiulang?"
Qi Liang, who was deep in thought, stopped holding the red wine glass and asked.
"At this juncture, except for Internet giants like Jiulang, who can afford this price? 500 million, Lao Qi, with this money, no matter what you want to do, you don't have to worry about money. Think about why Aqi broke up with you in the first place, wasn't it because you had no money?"
Now that things have come to this, Jin Feng did not hide anything and revealed the identity of the person who contacted him, and provoked the other party at the same time.
Jin Feng knew that Qi Liang still hadn't found a girlfriend. An important factor was his first love, who broke up with him when the company was about to go bankrupt last year.
“Even if it’s Old Wave, it can’t come up with 1 billion in cash.”
After hearing what this old brother said, Qi Liang's eyes narrowed noticeably and he expressed his concerns.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Jiulang, now ranked first among domestic portal websites, is now in high spirits and its market value is said to exceed 10 billion yuan. However, people in the industry know that it is fake. It has not been listed and approved by the market, so outsiders just foolishly believe it.
However, even if the market value of Jiulang exceeded 10 billion, Qi Liang was a little skeptical that it would take out 1 billion in one go.
"It wasn't Jiulang who took the money, it was someone else."
A mysterious smile, even Jinfeng, who is well-known in the industry, is not worried about this at all.
"who?"
Unexpectedly, the real owner was not Jiu Lang. Qi Liang asked with a frown.
"That, I can't say."
Shaking his head, Jin Feng was embarrassed to reveal the identity of the financial backer.
"If you don't tell me, how can I believe that the other party can come up with 1 billion in cash? Lao Jin, don't be fooled by some bullshit promise."
Patting the other person on the shoulder, Qi Liang spoke earnestly.
Everyone has gone through so many ups and downs over the years, and he hopes that this brother can think it over carefully.
"I'll just tell you. The person who asked me to do this is Mr. Ruan from Qinghua Investment. You also know that Qinghua Investment just acquired 22% of the shares of Jiulang and is planning to take Jiulang public by launching the Weike project. And you know the financial strength of Qinghua Investment, needless to say, it is no problem to come up with 1 billion. Mr. Ruan said that as long as you agree, the deposit of 200 million will be deposited into our overseas account tomorrow."
Since Qi Liang didn't believe it, Jin Feng had to reveal the identity of the financial backer behind him in order to convince him.
Although Qinghua Investment is not well-known outside, it is a big name in the investment community. They are one of the companies that want to join Mingliu Network's Series A investment. It is a venture capital firm with tens of billions of funds.
In Jinfeng's opinion, Qi Liang has already been moved.
In this world, who can resist money?
That's not 5 million or 50 million, that's 500 million, a full 500 million.
"Since it's Qinghua Investment, I still believe in their financial strength. By the way, give me 500 million to do this, what will you do?"
After hearing Jin Feng reveal the other party's identity, Qi Liang pondered for a moment and asked a question in return.
He took a risk by taking 500 million yuan. Jinfeng took 500 million yuan, so what did the other party ask him to do?
"Don't worry about this. Just tell me, will you do this or not?"
Seeing Qi Liang's tone soften, Jin Feng felt that there was a good chance, but he did not answer the other party's question.
What he was going to do was no less risky than the other party, but fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, and he had no way out now.
If he didn't do this job, not only would he not get any money, he would also go to jail.
"Let me think about it first."
Qi Liang did not agree directly because he needed time to consider the pros and cons of the matter.
"Okay, but Mr. Ruan asked us to give him an answer by tomorrow at the latest. After all, the old Sina micro-customer project will be launched on the morning of the 7th, which does not give us much time to think."
The other party did not agree directly, but Jin Feng, who was familiar with the other party's character, felt relieved.
At least the other party is truly moved and will not turn around and tell the big boss.
"Okay, I'll give you an answer tomorrow. That's it for today. I'll go back and think about it."
"Why don't you play for a while? You've already paid for it."
Seeing Qi Liang's appearance, Jin Feng was delighted and shouted with a smile.
He knew Qi Liang's personality, and if he said this, it meant there was a good chance.
Yes, who can resist the temptation of 500 million?
"No, I need to find a quiet place to think."
"Then I'll call you a car. You can't drive if you're drunk."
"It's okay, I'll call a car myself."
After Qi Liang left, Jin Feng sat alone on the sofa and thought for a moment, then picked up his phone and made a call: "Master Jing."
After leaving the club, Qi Liang did not take a taxi home, but took a bus back to the company.
Standing in his office, Qi Liang held a cup of hot coffee, looking at the scenery in the distance, a little dazed.
Qi Liang had never thought of betraying the company he founded or the big boss who had been so kind to him.
500 million in cash may seem like a lot, but it won't make him go against his conscience.
Besides, he can earn the money through his own efforts, so why should he break his bottom line?
Before in the club, Qi Liang had thought about persuading Jin Feng to stop, but looking at the other party's expression, it was obvious that he had no intention of turning back.
He wanted to tell the big boss, but was afraid of ruining his years of friendship with Jinfeng.
But if you don't tell your big boss, no matter how hard you try, you can't guard against a thief in your own home. There is no way to protect the company from being destroyed by the other party, and all your ideals will become empty.
Qi Liang removed his finger from the big boss's number and dialed another number.
"No problem with what you said. I'll pay for the travel expenses."
After lifting Yang Meizi's cute chin, Zhou Anan agreed with a smile.
In her previous life, Zhou Anan was deeply impressed by this female star in the news who rarely had any scandals and would disappear from the circle for a period of time.
Unexpectedly, in this life, the other person still has a good figure and his personality has not changed much. After filming two dramas, he wanted to go out for a trip and take a break.
Zhou Anan agreed to the other party's request without any hesitation.
Anyway, the company doesn't need to make much money from this girl.
Relatively speaking, Zhou Anan likes this kind of personality very much, but unfortunately the other party is destined not to become his girlfriend.
"No, I earn enough money myself."
After hearing the other party's promise, Yang Jinxi was delighted, but she rejected the other party's idea of sponsorship.
She can compromise and get what she wants, but she doesn't want to become the other person's pet.
When she signed the contract with Blue Whale Entertainment, she got a 4:6 contract, the terms of which were very generous. After filming two movies, the money she earned was enough to support her travel expenses.
A woman who is financially independent will not be looked down upon by men.
In this way, it can last long
"Okay, you can call me anytime if you need."
"Um."
After being bored for most of the day, Zhou Anan finally succeeded in wasting so much time.
At one o'clock in the afternoon on the 5th, representatives from several major domestic distributors gathered at Blue Whale Entertainment for a preview of "Charlotte's Troubles".
