Chapter 467 Inferior Assets
Since her huge success in 2018 with "The Thorns", Xu Yue's first two endorsements were Yun Cai Clothing and Dai Rong Cosmetics.
Dairong Cosmetics urgently needs a high-profile celebrity to endorse it in order to quickly gain popularity.
Xu Yue was a perfect fit at the time, so the two sides hit it off and signed a one-year endorsement contract.
The endorsement fees and other benefits were paid in full and in accordance with normal standards.
The contracts between the two sides expired amicably without any major issues arising.
As for Yun Cai Apparel, the endorsement deals were negotiated by Chu Liangxiu and Xu Yue.
Chu Liangxiu used Shen Xuewei's name to mislead Xu Yue into believing that Shen Xuewei was aware of the situation and that it was arranged by Shen Xuewei, thus making Xu Yue readily sign the contract for a free endorsement.
If Shen Xuewei hadn't discovered it herself, she probably would have remained completely in the dark.
To be honest, among Shen Xuewei's many partners, Chu Liangxiu was the stingiest one.
But she never imagined that the other party would be so petty and disgusting.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xuewei realized she knew about it, and Chu Liangxiu's arrogance subsided by half, but she still stubbornly argued:
"I was just thinking of the company's best interests. It hasn't been easy for the company to get to where it is today, and every dividend you receive is the result of saving every penny. I was in the wrong in this matter, but didn't you take your dividend?"
Mentioning this, Shen Xuewei let out a cold laugh, "You dare to say that I have never been shortchanged by a single penny in my dividends?"
Chu Liangxiu felt a chill run down her spine. "What do you mean by that? I could never do such a thing..."
Shen Xuewei threw a document over, which landed right in her arms.
Save those words for fooling others. I'm only a few years younger than you, don't take me for a fool.
Chu Liangxiu flipped through the documents, his face turning pale and ashen.
She didn't expect that, despite her efforts to keep things secret, Shen Xuewei would still find out.
She took a deep breath, raised her face to look at Shen Xuewei again, and her expression had returned to normal.
"I'm sorry, I'll transfer the shortfall to your account within three days. I'm here today for one thing only."
"Don't sell your shares to Jisi Group. For the sake of our long-standing friendship, sell them to me."
Since its inception, YunCai Apparel has transformed from a small online store into one of the leading women's clothing brands on Taobao.
Chu Liangxiu's promise to expand Yuncai Clothing from online to offline has now been fulfilled.
Last year, YunCai Apparel officially surpassed one hundred offline physical stores nationwide.
Although there aren't many physical stores, the offline presence has indeed grown.
Shen Xuewei's 41% stake in Yuncai Apparel has now been sold for 750 million yuan.
Shen Xuewei glanced at Chu Liangxiu, who was looking at her expectantly, flicked off non-existent dust from her clothes, and said:
"I will sign a contract with Jisi Group in three days. Once the contract is signed, the money will be immediately transferred to my account."
"And you... do you have that much cash in hand?"
YunCai Apparel has grown stronger year by year, and its development accelerated again after the launch of Taobao Live.
With the help of live-streaming e-commerce platforms, YunCai Apparel's sales volume is increasing day by day.
Until the end of 2018, with the official announcement of Xu Yue's endorsement, Yun Cai Clothing's sales surged that month, and thousands of pieces of the same style of clothing she wore were sold out.
With such high traffic, there's no need for livestreamers to sell products. After all, even with discounts for long-term partnerships, the slot fees for top livestreamers are still quite high.
Yun Cai Apparel has developed too rapidly in recent years, and the company's valuation has indeed increased a lot, but this does not mean that Chu Liangxiu has enough money in his pocket to buy up the shares held by Shen Xuewei.
Chu Liangxiu's pupils contracted immediately upon hearing about the amount of money.
"I don't have that much right now... I can give you two hundred million first, and I'll give you the rest later..."
Shen Xuewei interrupted her, "If you don't have money, then you don't need to tell me these things."
Chu Liangxiu stared at her intently, a variety of emotions flashing in his eyes, which finally turned into a sigh.
"Weiwei, don't you have any feelings for Yuncai at all? Over the years, Yuncai has made you a lot of money. Before this, Jisi Group had already acquired 5% of the shares. Once you sell your shares to them, Yuncai Apparel's shareholding will exceed mine."
"Can you really bear to let Yuncai Clothing change hands like this? What about our years of friendship? Don't you care about any of that?"
At this point, they still tried to appeal to her emotions, which made Shen Xuewei laugh.
"What kind of friendship do we have?"
Doesn't Chu Liangxiu feel ashamed to say such a thing?
Yun Cai Clothing, from its establishment to its current development, how much has Chu Liangxiu taken advantage of her? And now she dares to talk about favors with her.
It's ridiculous!
Despite talking for so long, Chu Liangxiu still couldn't persuade Shen Xuewei, and was even asked to leave by Shen Xuewei.
Seeing Chu Liangxiu turn and leave with a livid face, Shen Xuewei reminded her.
"I want to see every penny of my share of the dividend, the shortfall, in my account today."
Chu Liangxiu secretly transferred company profits through related-party transactions, resulting in a reduction in dividends distributed to lower-level shareholders.
Shen Xuewei alone has received at least tens of millions in dividends over the years.
This amount of money was a small sum for Shen Xuewei, but since it was her money, it had to be in her hands, and not a single penny could be less.
Chu Liangxiu paused, then squeezed out four words through his teeth.
"I see."
Watching her leave, Shen Xuewei's straight shoulders slumped, and she felt a little tired.
Fang Shiyue noticed her condition and placed his hands on her shoulders to massage her.
Shen Xuewei closed her eyes comfortably and chatted with him casually.
"The production crew heard they want you to join the crew the day after tomorrow?"
Fang Shiyue continued massaging her shoulders without stopping.
"Yes. I've already booked my flight for the day after tomorrow morning, and I'll be there that afternoon."
“I don’t have many scenes. If I don’t have any scenes to film on a particular day, I will come back to be with you.”
Shen Xuewei's breathing became regular. "Hmm, no rush, we can talk about it later."
"Let me ask you a question..."
Shen Xuewei turned around, gently stroked his face, and stared into his eyes as she asked:
What do you want most right now?
Fang Shiyue withdrew his hand, and after careful consideration, said sincerely:
"I want to be famous, famous to the point of being unbelievable, so that everyone will know me."
Shen Xuewei smiled first, then kissed him and murmured, "Then I wish that one day your wish will come true."
She likes honest people.
Fang Shiyue did this very well.
Fang Shiyue stayed with Shen Xuewei for two more days before boarding a plane to the film set to shoot a movie.
However, Shen Xuewei did not change her mind, and when the agreed time with Jisi Group arrived, the two parties signed a contract.
With 750 million yuan transferred to Shen Xuewei's account, her 41% stake in Yuncai Apparel officially changed hands and became the property of Jisi Group.
As a result, the shares held by Jisi Group have exceeded those of the original largest shareholder.
Shen Xuewei didn't care about the future development of Yuncai Apparel.
In her eyes, even YunCai Apparel, which is currently doing very well, is a low-quality asset.
