Seeing Xu Gongzi's current state, Zhao Chen simply smiled faintly, knowing that the guy didn't have the guts.
At this moment, Xu Fuhao patted his son, signaling him to be more composed and not to make any mistakes.
They've come here today to apologize, so they need to show enough sincerity.
A slight misstep can easily backfire.
Young Master Xu naturally understood his father's thoughts, and immediately became even more respectful.
Seeing their humble attitude, Zhao Chen smiled and asked directly:
"Zhao has no prior connection with you. May I ask what brings you here?"
If Xu Fuhao takes this seriously at this point, he would be truly foolish. Just because someone didn't pursue the matter doesn't mean they don't care.
He still had to apologize, so he immediately said with a smile:
"Young Master Zhao, please forgive my son. He was very rude and offended you and the two Madams Zhao earlier. I am truly sorry."
“After we got back, I criticized him very severely and told him not to be so reckless in the future.”
"At the same time, it also makes him realize his place and that he must never do anything disrespectful to Young Master Zhao and Madam Zhao in the future."
"I implore you, Young Master Zhao, to be magnanimous and forgive my son this once. He will not do it again."
Seeing their attitudes and their current dejected state, Zhao Chen nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, I understand."
"This is not a big deal. Since you are so kind, I can let it go."
"However, since this is an apology, shouldn't you show some sincerity?"
Hearing Zhao Chen say that, the two breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts jumped again.
They quickly handed over the gift list, which included a batch of fine red wine, various local specialties, and of course, some jewelry, making it a rather valuable gift.
However, these were just superficial gifts; what was more important was the shares of a company that Xu, the wealthy man, later offered.
Upon hearing about the company's shareholding, Zhao Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
It has to be said that this company is making quite a bit of money right now, but that may not be the case in the future.
Zhao Chen clearly remembers that Xu Fuhao's company eventually went bankrupt due to poor management.
It hasn't been many years since then, and the rapid pace from profitability to bankruptcy was simply astonishing.
It wouldn't mean him much to hold onto these shares, so he wouldn't agree.
At this moment, he gently pushed the equity agreement back:
“Mr. Xu, these shares are quite good, and they certainly represent your sincerity.”
“But I don’t need that. I want something else you have. Don’t worry, it’s much less valuable than these shares.”
"I believe you're willing to give it to me..."
At this moment, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu couldn't help but exchange a glance and look at each other in bewilderment.
Xu Fuhao asked tentatively:
"I wonder what it is that Young Master Zhao wants?"
Zhao Chen smiled at this moment:
"I want the TVB shares you hold."
"Also, help me contact some shareholders you know and have them come over and talk to me."
"I am willing to acquire some TVB shares at a premium, but not too much, at the normal market price."
"If they're willing to be my friend, then come on over. If not, then forget it."
"Of course, if you can make this happen, I will reward you in the future."
"As for the benefits, we'll talk about that after you've finished getting things done."
Xu Fuhao was a little taken aback when he heard Zhao Chen say that.
TVB shares are indeed quite good for ordinary people, but for the wealthy like them, they are just tools to play around with.
Even the reason Xu Fuhao and his associates acquired these shares was simply because Young Master Xu enjoys having fun. Having such a shareholder status would make it easier for Young Master Xu to get close to those female celebrities.
This was also a gift that Mr. Xu gave to his son.
He knew his son was still young and liked to have fun, and his philosophy was that young people should do young things.
If your son likes to play, let him play. When he's had enough and settled down, he can naturally come home to take over the family business. At that time, he can also rest assured to marry a well-known socialite who can help him.
In fact, in his previous life, Young Master Xu did indeed follow the path set by Rich Xu.
In the end, he did indeed marry a very famous socialite, a union of two powerful families.
Therefore, TVB's shares are not actually that important to them.
Compared to the company shares they just gave away, this is much cheaper.
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, Xu Fuhao didn't hesitate for long and immediately agreed:
"Since Young Master Zhao likes it, then you may take it."
"I don't own a particularly large number of TVB shares, but I don't own a small number either."
"It's probably around 8%."
"However, I know a few friends who are also interested in selling their TVB shares."
"If you'd like, I'll have them come over and talk to you. I'll try to persuade them to offer a fair price."
Upon hearing Xu Fuhao's words, Zhao Chen naturally smiled and nodded.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to Mr. Xu. I hope you can bring me good news."
The two shook hands and made peace, and the matter was resolved.
As for the good thing Zhao Chen mentioned, Xu Fuhao didn't take it to heart.
Now, in his view, Zhao Chen doesn't seem to be as formidable as he had imagined.
As for why Zhao Chen wanted to take over TVB, he guessed it was probably just to make Lai Chi happy.
After all, Lai Chi was also cultivated by TVB.
If a female celebrity could win over her former employer and return to be the queen, that would be incredibly awesome.
This shift in status, the joy of being second only to the emperor, is something that cannot be compared to ordinary things.
"Dad, I don't think this Young Master Zhao is as capable as you say."
"I feel like he's completely infatuated right now, and he's really going all out for Li Zi!"
"But would his family allow him to do this?"
Xu Fuhao shook his head again and said:
"I don't quite understand this person anymore."
“I always felt that things weren’t that simple. His acquisition of TVB was definitely useful, but it didn’t seem that important.”
"Let's think about it some more. Just don't offend him."
“TVB shares are not a necessity for us, so we gave them to him. Besides, it’s not like they’re not willing to pay; the price they offered was quite fair.”
That's right, Zhao Chen intends to buy these shares, not to forcibly seize them.
After all, he knew very well that if he wanted to stay in this industry for a long time, he couldn't do anything that would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Although it might save some money, it leaves you with a reputation for being mean and sarcastic, which will hinder future collaborations with others, making it a losing proposition.
It's fine as it is now, anyway, he's not short of money.
However, now is the time to make money.
