Chapter 785 Almost Exposed
"How did Uncle Mai know that I added money?"
Hearing Mr. Mai's question, Zhou Anan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked back with a smile.
"I know you're not short of money."
Regarding this issue, Mai Jiashan gave a very pertinent reason.
What's more, the other party clearly told us the identity of their competitor, which means that they are completely confident.
According to a rough estimate, the other party has a lot of liquid funds, which would be in the billions if converted into US dollars.
"Just consider it as Uncle Mai's compliment to me. I just sent an email to the agent in North America, 15 million in exchange for 38 points of shares."
Since the other party praised him so much, Zhou Anan also honestly stated his new conditions.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of thing being put out in the open.
Generally speaking, if outsiders noticed that the leader of the team that acquired Riot Games was a Chinese beauty, they would not trace it back to Zhou Anan. After all, Zhou Anan attached great importance to confidentiality.
TX learned about the specific information about its competitors entirely because Zhou Anan took the initiative to reveal it to the other party.
The ones we are competing with now are the game companies in the United States. We are all Chinese, so there is no need to kill each other in suspicion.
What's more, the person to whom Zhou Anan wants to transfer shares in the future is the TX spokesperson in front of him.
Leave a good impression so that you won’t feel embarrassed to ask for a high price in the future.
"I'm old."
After hearing the conditions offered by the other party, Mai Jiashan couldn't help but shook his head.
In TX's daily affairs, there is a dedicated department responsible for external investment in promising new game companies, and the investment in Riot Games is just one of the ordinary affairs.
However, a team with a Chinese background suddenly emerged among the competitors, and Mai Jiashan, who learned of the relationship between them, contacted the young brother as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so optimistic about the future of Riot Games that the price increase was several million dollars.
That’s a foreign company that hasn’t even completed its first game. Why are they so optimistic about it?
"Why, Uncle Mai is not going to follow?"
Seeing the other person sighing, Zhou Anan couldn't help but provoke him.
He wants to take 38 points of shares, but that doesn't mean he disagrees with TX joining in. On the contrary, he would rather TX join in to promote the research and development progress of Riot Games.
Without TX's participation, it is unknown whether LOL can reach the heights of its previous life.
"Oh, you've already raised the stakes. We won't bring shame to the Chinese. Let's do it together."
Knowing that the other party was using provocation, Mai Jiashan was happy to follow the other party's tactics.
Apart from anything else, this young man has impeccable vision.
The investment from Celebrity Group alone stabilized the downward trend of TX's stock price during the financial crisis, preventing it from falling like a bubble like other Internet companies.
Even if the company doesn't increase its investment, he will personally acquire part of Riot Games' shares, just as if he is taking 100 million to gamble with his younger brother.
"Uncle Mai, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
After listening to Mr. Mai's cunning arrangements, Zhou Anan raised her glass with a smile.
With the cooperation with TX, his investment in Riot Games will definitely make a lot of money.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
After clinking glasses with the other party, Mai Jiashan seemed to have found again the passion that made him invest in Mingliu Group.
Unknown investment is like a girl with infinite possibilities, which makes people look forward to it.
It’s great to be young.
After parting with Mr. Mai, Zhou Anan looked at the time, remembered the dinner appointment with Miss Wang two days ago, and immediately made a phone call.
Anyway, I haven’t decided where to rest at night yet, so I’ll find something to do first and fill in the gaps I promised to fill earlier.
"Midnight snack? Tonight?"
After receiving a call from An Xiaodi, Wang Xiaoxiao, who was having dinner with her high school female classmates, asked in surprise, and then covered the phone with her hand.
Nowadays, treating her to a midnight snack is always so sudden, leaving her completely unprepared.
If she had known this earlier, she would not have agreed to have dinner with these high school female classmates today.
"Why? If you have something to do, let's do it next time."
Hearing the implication of Miss Wang's words, Zhou Anan considerately arranged the next time.
"No, no, let's do it tonight."
When Wang Xiaoxiao heard that the midnight snack was about to fly away, she immediately became anxious and said something in a low and hurried voice.
Just kidding, this is the midnight snack that Brother An owed her. After this time, who knows if the other party will recognize it.
It’s a pity that I’ve already had dinner today and my fighting power has decreased by XXX.
But it’s okay, I can go shopping and my stomach will be full.
"Okay, when shall I pick you up?"
"About half past eight. I'll send you the exact location then."
It is still six forty now. After calculating the speed of shopping after dinner, Wang Xiaoxiao gave an approximate time.
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Anan looked at her Patek Philippe watch and prepared to go to the nearby West Lake Qinglan store to have a cup of coffee and enjoy the scenery.
"Xiaoxiao, what's your girlfriend's phone number?"
After Wang Xiaoxiao put down her phone, Mao Wuyou asked teasingly, and the dozen or so female classmates present all paid attention.
Originally, Kong Lumeng had only invited two or three people, but there were quite a few girls who heard it at the class reunion, so so many people gathered at once.
"What do you mean my family?"
After hearing what the female classmate said, Wang Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, and then she remembered that she had asked An Xiaodi to pretend to be her boyfriend two days ago, and added with a guilty conscience: "We are just ordinary friends."
"Huh?"
After a round of contempt from the female classmates, Zhang Hangying, who had received a favor, couldn't help but persuade her: "Xiaoxiao, you better hold on tight, there are many people eyeing your man."
Kong Lumeng, who was sitting next to him and didn't say much, raised her eyebrows, looked at Zhang Hangying who was hinting at something, and drank a sip of water quietly.
Oh, a billionaire, which girl wouldn't be tempted?
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Where are we going shopping later?"
Wang Xiaoxiao didn't dwell on this topic to avoid being exposed, so she started asking about the shopping arrangements.
"There are several new clothing stores opened next to Yintai. I heard that two of them sell genuine products imported from the Southern Dynasty. Let's go take a look."
One of the female classmates, who was well-dressed, made a suggestion with a smile. The green bracelet on her wrist showed her superior family background.
"Okay."
When Wang Xiaoxiao heard about the clothing imported from the Southern Dynasty, her eyes lit up.
It just so happened that last month's New Year bonus and various strange dividends were a bit too much, and she had no place to spend them.
It is beneficial to spend more time communicating with female classmates.
In the clothing store full of Southern Dynasties logos, many female classmates were envious and jealous when they saw Wang Xiaoxiao buying four-digit clothes without even looking at the price tags.
Several girls who originally wanted to buy one or two pieces gritted their teeth and bought a few more, which made the young female shop owner who was serving nearby smile with wrinkles in the corners of her eyes.
The girl who was unknown back then suddenly turned around and threw herself into the arms of a rich man, and lived a better life than most of them.
For these women, working well is far less important than marrying well.
"I won't go. I have to have supper with Xiao An later."
After finishing the shopping trip, Wang Xiaoxiao heard that a few people wanted to go for KTV and shook her head to decline the invitation.
"Eating supper so early, do you have some unspeakable secret?"
Raising her eyebrows, Kong Lumeng joked in a familiar tone.
"No, we're going to the bamboo garden to have a barbecue."
When someone misunderstood her, Wang Xiaoxiao immediately explained her itinerary.
"Zhu Yuan?! I've been there once before. The barbecue there is really expensive. But the environment is really good. If you want to have a midnight snack there, you have to reserve a table at least one day in advance."
The female classmates who had been to Zhuyuan immediately followed suit and expressed their feelings.
"That's great, I've never been there. Xiaoxiao, how about letting me have a midnight snack?"
After glancing at the self-satisfied female classmate, Kong Lumeng, who had received the assist, smiled and asked the other party.
"Yes, yes, Xiaoxiao, how about letting us have a meal too?"
"Xiaoxiao, you won't be reluctant, will you?"
"That's right. Your boyfriend doesn't need the money anyway."
"Xiaoxiao, don't listen to their nonsense. At worst, we can just split the bill."
Kong Lumeng glanced at the female classmate who was talking nonsense with a slightly annoyed look, and immediately changed her tone to prevent the other party from getting angry and walking away.
