Chapter 169: Forget It
"Are you crazy? How dare you make such a request? Don't you think it's too much?" Sima Jiguang was greatly shocked. He added, "Do you think you can manipulate me just because you have my favorite thing?"
"Half of the land in exchange for 50% of the shares. A whole piece of land only requires 51% of the shares. Isn't that a good deal?" Li Rongsen chuckled.
"You have great ambitions in wanting to control the entire newspaper industry and media entertainment platform." Sima Jiguang's face became increasingly gloomy. He actually underestimated this man.
Zhou Ziyi always said that Li Rongsen had no ability, but now he had to get to know him again.
"That also requires your help." Li Rongsen said this politely, but in fact he was not polite. He had a kind of indifference that was almost arrogant, but it was not disrespectful to anyone.
"I am the boss in this industry, and no one can replace me." Sima Jiguang started coughing after he finished speaking.
Because of his long-term cigar smoking, his health is not good. Now he feels weak when he is stimulated. He leaned deeply in the sofa, as if to relax.
Li Rongsen said, "With the internet now so developed, the newspaper industry has taken a big hit, and the rate of return is decreasing year by year. This is a good deal for you, so why be so stubborn?"
"This is not just a newspaper company. We also have many live broadcast platforms and star-making platforms." Although Sima Aurora is not a young man, he keeps pace with the times and can fully keep up with the thinking of young people.
Li Rongsen also noticed this point. He said, "That piece of land is worth a lot of money, and it's what you've always wanted. Now that you finally have the chance to get it, are you willing to give it up?"
Sima Jiguang frowned and did not answer immediately.
Li Rongsen was willing to give him time to think, saying, "You can take your time to think about it. I can wait."
Sima Jiguang didn't stop him, he really needed to think about it carefully.
After Li Rongsen came out, he thought about finding some more bargaining chips to force the old man to transfer his shares, otherwise it would be a big hidden danger.
He looked up at the sky and found that it was a wonderful day today. He thought of An Yan unconsciously and planned to go to Wancaotang to see her. It was almost lunchtime, and he should treat her to lunch to thank her for sending him to Hua Ye yesterday.
But An Yan was not in Wancaotang. She went to meet someone, Bai Shu.
The two people made an appointment to meet at Youli, a Western restaurant.
Bai Shu is an aggressive man with a manly appearance. He has a domineering temperament in his every move and gesture. He is definitely not the gentle and elegant type.
It is hard to imagine that such a rough man can use a scalpel. I heard that his stitches will never leave scars, and his skills are so superb that they are worthy of endless praise.
Bai Shu was looking An Yan up and down and asked her, "You don't seem to need plastic surgery, so why did you come to me?"
"Aren't you very idle lately and can't find a suitable place to go?" An Yan asked him.
"That's because I want to be idle. Several companies have come to me a long time ago." Bai Shu's tone was full of pride, and he looked like someone who deserved a beating and looked down upon.
But he really had the capital to be noble, so An Yan didn't bother with him and said, "I'm here on behalf of President Li."
"Oh, he rejected my request, so we can't work together." He said bluntly.
"Why do you insist on being the daughter-in-law of the Li family? I'd be willing to let you invest. Are you in love with Rong Qian?" An Yan asked him kindly.
Bai Shu handed the menu to the waiter, and then asked An Yan, "Who is Rong Qian?"
An Yan frowned and said, "Li Rongqian, Li Rongsen's sister, since you want to be the son-in-law of the Li family, how come you don't know who you are going to marry?"
"It doesn't matter who I marry. What's important is that I must have a marriage relationship with the Li family so that I can contribute willingly." Bai Shu replied.
"What a weird logic." An Yan felt that he had really old-fashioned ideas.
"That's my logic." Bai Shu didn't think he was wrong and continued, "His sister isn't married yet, so she'll have to get married sooner or later. In that case, marrying a man who can work for his family wouldn't be a good deal."
"Rong Qian only marries the man she loves."
"Love doesn't last forever. It fades away like water over time. It's better to find someone who can bring you benefits." Bai Shu had his own understanding of marriage and added, "Please tell Rong Qian that a marriage without love is the only one that can truly last. We rely on benefits to maintain our relationship. No one can live without the other."
"She is not a victim of profit." An Yan couldn't understand his reasoning.
But Bai Shu disagreed and said, "What if she wants to?"
An Yan sneered. She didn't think Rong Qian would be willing, even though she had been hurt by love before.
At this time, the sound of a piano was heard, so beautiful that it sounded like the sound of nature, making people forget to talk, drink water, eat, and even breathe.
Bai Shu was naturally intoxicated by it and said, "This sound is so beautiful. I have hardly heard any performance better than this. I really want to meet this person."
This is true. The person who played the piano was extraordinary and his level was top-notch. But he only played one song, and after he finished, everyone present stood up and applauded.
It was as if this restaurant was his personal concert. Everyone asked him to play another song, but he didn't. He just left gracefully.
An Yan looked towards the piano and saw a man walking away leisurely. He was wearing a black suit and a Kamen Rider mask, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.
Bai Shu praised him, "He has an extremely high talent for piano and is a genius."
An Yan also admitted this, but she didn't come here today to talk about piano with him. She said, "How about this, as a token of my sincerity in asking you to be the chief director, I can promise to help your sister with her medical treatment."
"What?" Bai Shu smiled as if struck by lightning. "You know how much I've tried to restore her sight, but I couldn't. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have studied medicine. I took her to see all the famous doctors, but they all said it was impossible for her to see again."
"I'll find a way." An Yan said calmly.
"Don't joke with me. Unless a miracle happens, no one can make her see. I even consulted a witch doctor, who said she was cursed." Bai Shu didn't believe in An Yan's medical skills. He added, "I've heard that you know a little bit about medicine, but that was just a normal case, not this special one. It could easily cause her to die prematurely."
"Why, was she almost killed by someone's improper treatment?" An Yan had already understood what he meant and discovered that he had an inexplicable fear, which was why he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Yes, we finally managed to save her, but she became deaf again." Bai Shu felt bad whenever he thought about this incident, so he no longer sought treatment. He just hoped that she could live a peaceful life.
"Let me meet her one day, and I'll tell you how confident I am." Although An Yan knew that she could cure it, she never overstated her words.
Bai Shu still looked disdainful and sneered at her, saying, "I won't let anyone take risks with her again."
"Okay, it's your decision anyway. You've lived in darkness all your life and now you can't even appreciate sounds. Is she happy or miserable?" An Yan said as she stood up.
Bai Shu pursed his lips and said nothing. He couldn't take the risk.
An Yan turned and left. She was not in a hurry. At worst, she could find another way, even though he was a talented person.
