Back To 2005

"How does Uncle Mai know that I added money?"

Hearing Mr. Mai's question, Zhou Anan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"I know you're not short of money."

Regarding this issue, Mai Jiashan gave a very pertinent reason.

What's more, if the other party clearly tells him the identity of his competitor, it means that the other party is fully confident.

A rough estimate shows that the liquidity in the other party's hands is definitely not small. If converted into US dollars, it would be estimated to be in the hundreds of millions.

"I thought Uncle Mai was complimenting me. I just sent an email to the agent in North America, offering 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 on the face of it.

Generally speaking, if outsiders notice that the head of the team that acquired Riot Games is a Chinese beauty, they will not find out about Zhou Anan. After all, Zhou Anan still attaches great importance to confidentiality.

When TX learned about specific competitors, it was only Zhou Anan who took the initiative to reveal it to the other party.

The competition now is with game companies from the United States. We are all Chinese, so there is no need to kill each other amid suspicion.

What's more, the person Zhou Anan wants to transfer his shares to in the future is the TX spokesperson in front of him.

Leave a good impression, and the lion will not be embarrassed to speak in the future.

"Old, old."

After hearing the conditions offered by the other party, Mai Jiashan couldn't help but shook his head.

In the daily affairs of TX, there is a dedicated department responsible for investing in promising new game companies. Investment in Riot Games is just one of the ordinary affairs.

However, a team with a Chinese background suddenly appeared among the competitors. After learning about the relationship, Mai Jiashan contacted this young man immediately.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so optimistic about the future of Riot Games, and the price increase would be several million dollars.

That's a foreign company that hasn't even completed its first game. Why is it so optimistic?

"What, Uncle Mai isn't going to follow?"

Seeing the other person sighing, Zhou Anan couldn't help but provoke him.

Just because he wants to win 38 points of shares does not mean that he does not agree with TX following in. On the contrary, he is more like TX following in and promoting the R\u0026D progress of Riot Games.

Without the participation of TX, it is still unknown whether LOL can reach the heights of its previous life.

"Haha, you've put more pressure on us. We won't embarrass the Chinese people no matter what. Our two families are together."

Knowing the opponent's provoking methods, Mai Jiashan followed the opponent's routine happily.

Apart from anything else, this young man's eyes didn't say much.

The investment from Celebrity Group alone allowed their TX stock price to stabilize its downward trend during the financial crisis, preventing it from falling like a bubble like other Internet companies.

Even if the company doesn't increase the stakes, he personally wants to take part of the equity of Riot Games, so he can gamble 100 million with his little brother.

"Uncle Mai, I wish us a happy cooperation."

After listening to Mr. Mai's cunning arrangement, Zhou Anan smiled and raised his glass.

With the cooperation of TX, his investment in Riot Games will definitely make a lot of money.

“A pleasure to work with.”

After clinking glasses with the other party, Mai Jiashan seemed to have found his original passion for investing in celebrity groups.

An unknown investment is like a girl with infinite possibilities, which makes people look forward to it.

It’s great to be young.

After parting ways with Mr. Mai, Zhou Anan looked at the time, remembered the treat he had with Miss Wang two days ago, and immediately made a call.

Anyway, I haven't decided where to rest at night. I'll find something to do first and fill in the holes I promised earlier.

"Supper? Tonight?"

After receiving a call from Xiaodi An, Wang Xiaoxiao, who was having dinner with her high school female classmates, asked in surprise, then covered her phone with her hand.

These days, is it so sudden to ask for a late-night snack? She was not prepared at all.

If she had known earlier, she would not have allowed these female high school classmates to have dinner together tonight.

"What? If something happens to the little lady, let's do it next time."

Hearing the meaning of Miss Wang's words, Zhou Anan thoughtfully arranged the next time.

"No, no, let's do it tonight."

As soon as he heard that the late night snack was about to fly away, Wang Xiaoxiao immediately became anxious and whispered softly.

Just kidding, this is the midnight snack An Xiaodi owes her. After this time, who knows whether the other party recognizes it or not.

It's a pity that after dinner today, the combat effectiveness has been reduced by XXX.

But it’s okay, my stomach will be empty when I go shopping.

"Okay, when will I pick you up?"

"About half past eight. I'll send you the specific location then."

It was still six forty. After calculating the speed of shopping after dinner, Wang Xiaoxiao gave an approximate time.

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Anan looked at the Patek Philippe watch and prepared to go to the West Lake Qinglan store not far away to have a cup of coffee and look at the scenery.

"Xiaoxiao, what's your phone number?"

When Wang Xiaoxiao put down her phone, Mao Wuyou asked teasingly, and the dozen or so female classmates present all paid attention.

Originally, Kong Lumeng only called two or three people, but as a result, there were many girls at the class reunion, and so many people gathered at once.

"What about my family?"

After hearing what the female classmate said, Wang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then remembered the incident where he asked An Xiaodi to pretend to be her boyfriend two days ago, and added with some guilt: "We are just ordinary friends."

"Huh"

After a moment of disdain from the female classmates, Zhang Hangying, who had received the favor, couldn't help but persuade her: "Xiaoxiao, you have to be careful, there are a lot of people staring at your family."

Kong Lumeng, who was sitting next to him and didn't speak much, raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhang Hangying who meant something, and took a quiet sip of water.

Hey, billionaire, what girl wouldn’t be tempted by him?

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Where shall we go shopping later?"

Wang Xiaoxiao, who did not dwell on this topic to avoid revealing her secret, started asking about shopping arrangements.

"There are several new clothing stores opened next to Yintai. I heard that two of them are genuine products imported from the Southern Dynasties. Let's go and have a look."

One of the well-dressed female classmates smiled and made a suggestion. A green bracelet on her wrist showed her superior family background.

"Okay."

Wang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard about the clothing imported from the Southern Dynasty.

It just so happened that last month's New Year's bonus and various strange dividends were a bit too much, and she didn't have room to spend them.

It would still be beneficial to spend more time communicating with female classmates.

In a clothing store full of signs written in the Southern Dynasty, when they saw Wang Xiaoxiao swiping four-digit clothes without looking at the price tags at all, many female classmates had envy in their eyes.

Several girls who originally wanted to buy one or two items gritted their teeth and bought a few more items, which made the young female shop owner serving next to her smile crinkle her eyes. .

That unknown girl back then turned around and fell into the arms of a rich man, and her life was better 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, who heard that several people were going to sing karaoke, shook her head and declined the invitation.

"Having supper so early, do you have any hidden secrets?"

Kong Lumeng raised her eyebrows and joked in a pretentious manner.

"No way, we are going to Zhuyuan to have barbecue."

Being misunderstood, Wang Xiaoxiao immediately explained the itinerary.

"Bamboo Garden?! I've been there last time. The barbecue there is really valuable. But the environment is really nice. If you want to have supper there, you should reserve a spot at least one day in advance."

The female classmates who had been to Zhuyuan immediately started to express their feelings.

"Okay then, I haven't even been there. Xiaoxiao, how about you let me have a late night snack?"

Glancing at the smug female classmate, Kong Lumeng, who received the assist, smiled and asked the other party.

"Yes, yes, Xiaoxiao, why don't we all have a meal too."

"Xiaoxiao, you won't be reluctant to let go, right?"

"That's right, your boyfriend is not short of money anyway."

"Xiaoxiao, don't listen to their nonsense. The worst is that we will all become AAs."

Glancing slightly angrily at the female classmate who was telling the truth, Kong Lumeng immediately changed her tone to prevent the other student from becoming angry and throwing away her hands.
