“Brother Zhang, open it and take a look first.” Wang Shichong replied.

Zhang Zhe glanced at him, turned over the contract in front of him, and raised his eyebrows after reading the contents of the first page.

It was written in black and white that Wang Shichong sold 30% of the shares of Panda TV for 1 yuan.

The column for Party B was blank, but Wang Shichong had already signed it in advance. As long as Zhang Zhe signed his name on the contract, the contract would take effect.

Zhang Zhe put the contract down and looked at Wang Shichong again.

“Brother Zhang, it’s like this.”

Wang Shichong explained:

“Without your loan, Panda TV wouldn’t be able to sustain for too long, and you also know that I signed a guaranteed repurchase contract with them.”

“If Panda TV really fails, I will have to bear a debt of 2 billion yuan. Brother Zhang, you have helped me a lot this time. This share is my little token of appreciation…”

Although Panda TV has not attracted investment, it is estimated to have reached 4 billion yuan after the B round of financing last year.

Although valuation is a very imaginary thing, as one of the top three live broadcast platforms in China, Panda TV is still very valuable.

The main reason why no one invested is that Penguin obviously has the ambition to completely occupy the live broadcast market. With Penguin’s power in the domestic Internet, not many investors have the confidence to snatch meat from the other party.

Wang Shichong’s meaning is already very clear. If it is just to thank you, he would not directly give away 30% of the equity.

“Your kindness is really great.”

Zhang Zhe smiled playfully and asked:

“If I remember correctly, you should have less than 50% of Panda TV shares left? You’re giving away 30% now, so you don’t want to play with it anymore?”

“At present, I do have only 49% of the shares, but it won’t be that soon.”

Wang Shichong smiled and replied:

“I talked to Brother Qin yesterday and got another investment from him. I plan to buy back the shares held by 361 and Hongda…”

Zhang Zhe looked at Qin Zhengyang and asked:

“Zhengyang, how much did you invest?”

“One billion.”

Qin Zhengyang replied:

“Like you, Brother Zhang, 30% of the shares.”

“One billion…”

Zhang Zhe muttered, picked up the coffee and wanted to take a sip, but found that it was a little cold.

Seeing this, Bai Lu quickly picked up the coffee pot, poured a new cup with a new cup, and added milk according to the previous ratio, and brought it to Zhang Zhe.

“Mr. Zhang…”

“Yeah.”

Zhang Zhe took a sip of coffee, looked at Wang Shichong and asked:

“Your 1.5 billion, plus Zhengyang’s 1 billion, there won’t be much left after repurchasing the shares, right?”

“Panda TV’s angel round was invested by me, and 361 Technology invested another 200 million after it took a stake. Together with the 1 billion in the B round led by Hongda last year, a total of 1.2 billion was raised.”

Wang Shichong replied:

“It is definitely impossible to repurchase at the original price. I plan to repurchase their shares at a valuation of 4 billion, which will cost about 2 billion.”

“In about a year, a return of more than 50% is already very high. If they are still not satisfied, then don’t play. I don’t believe they can beat Penguin…”

“So…”

Wang Shichong and Qin Zhengyang obviously want to use Panda TV as a link to make friends with me and become a partner with whom I have interests involved.

It can be said that the reason why Qin Zhengyang spent 1 billion yuan to buy shares was largely because of himself.

Otherwise, with his relationship with Wang Shichong, if he wanted to invest, he would have invested long ago, and there was no need to wait until now.

Wang Shichong and Qin Zhengyang are both top second-generations in China.

The influence of the Qin family in Shanghai is needless to say, and Wang Shichong’s family background is not simple, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the position of the richest man.

Although he now has a deep “background”, he can’t actually borrow too much energy, and he really needs to make his own connections.

However, although this 30% share is given for free, and both of them are willing, and even hope that he can accept this share.

But this share cannot be taken for free, after all, eating someone’s mouth is soft and taking someone’s hand is short.

After receiving the other party’s benefits, if they ask you for help in the future, will you agree or refuse?

Zhang Zhe is not short of money, nor is he the second-generation who needs to rely on background to accumulate wealth, and he does not want to owe favors on such things.

After the incident with the female anchor, Zhang Zhe is indeed more interested in the live broadcast platform.

In addition, Zhang Zhe owns Mitao Media, which will soon become a shareholder of ByteDance. If the live broadcast platform is added, it can be said that a complete industrial chain involving upstream, midstream and downstream will be formed directly.

In this way, these assets in Zhang Zhe’s handsThe production will be thoroughly integrated with resources, and they can complement each other.

The field of self-media will completely become Zhang Zhe’s back garden.

Whether it is for the improvement of Zhang Zhe’s personal influence, or for the large-scale selection of concubines in the future…selecting versatile artists for training, there are certain benefits.

“Let’s do this.”

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Zhe pushed the contract back and said:

“You buy back the shares held by other shareholders first, and then come to me after you have collected the equity. At that time, I will invest 1 billion like Zhengyang.”

“After all, there will not be much left after the two of you buy back the shares. How can the company develop without money?”

“Brother Zhang, it’s really not necessary.”

Wang Shichong quickly replied:

“As long as I recover the equity and regain the right to speak in the company, the remaining several hundred million will be enough for the company to expand next.”

Wang Shichong needed a lot of funds before because he had to deal with the money-burning war launched by Penguin.

But if Zhang Zhe and Qin Zhengyang were to invest… Penguin would not have the courage to take action on Panda TV even if it spent more money.

“Forget it.”

Zhang Zhe glanced at him and said:

“I don’t have the habit of taking other people’s things for free.”

“That… OK.”

Wang Shichong hesitated for a moment and replied:

“But 1 billion is too much. Brother Zhang, you can just give 500 million. After all, the 1.5 billion in my hand is also from you. Without this money, I can’t buy back the shares…”

Wang Shichong naturally knew that Zhang Zhe didn’t want to owe them a favor.

But even if Zhang Zhe wanted to give money, it would not be the same as Qin Zhengyang. He still had to give the money.

“Okay, let’s say that.”

Zhang Zhe did not insist any more. This was not considered taking advantage. After all, they would be very happy to be able to invest in the company.

While chatting and laughing, the future of Panda TV was decided by the three of them.

Everyone was happy and got what they wanted.

“Brother Zhang, are you free tonight?”

Qin Zhengyang asked:

“If you don’t have any plans, I’ll organize a party and invite a few friends to meet you. They are all powerful people in Shanghai. If you have any business in the future, there are also some people who can help you run errands…”

After signing the two contracts, Zhang Zhe had nothing to do today, so he nodded and replied:

“Okay, you arrange it.”

“Okay!”

Qin Zhengyang smiled and responded, and took out his mobile phone to contact.

Wang Shichong also asked:

“Brother Zhang, it’s almost noon, let’s have lunch together? I know there’s a private restaurant that’s pretty good…”

“Private restaurant? Is it far?” Zhang Zhe asked.

After all, we have to pick up the goods at around 2 pm, and it would be troublesome to go back and forth if it’s too far.

“It’s in Xuhui District, not too far…”

Zhang Zhe raised his hand to check the time. It was just 11:30, so there was plenty of time.

Although the restaurant at the Bulgari Hotel is not bad, it is easy to get tired of eating there every day. It is a good opportunity to try the taste of this private restaurant.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Zhang Zhe nodded, looked at Bai Lu and Butler Liu and said:

“Xiao Bai and Awen, you two have worked hard today, let’s go and eat together.”

Whether it is the Bulgari Hotel or Wang Shichong, Zhang Zhe just moved his mouth, and the specific things were implemented by the two of them.

It’s time for dinner, and I must take them along.

Bai Lu and Butler Liu nodded and agreed quickly, and Wang Shichong naturally had no objection.

After Bai Lu put the two contract documents away, everyone walked out of the hotel and got into their cars.

Wang Shichong booked this private restaurant, which is in a three-story small western-style building with an elegant and grand shape.

There is also a large courtyard outside, with some bamboos and a large number of potted flowers planted on both sides, and the environment is very elegant.

A few dozen meters away is the busy road, which feels quite quiet in the hustle and bustle.

The interior decoration is also very stylish, luxurious with a strong sense of retro, making people feel like they have traveled back to the old Magic City decades ago.

Everyone came to the private room on the second floor, Wang Shichong invited Zhang Zhe to the main seat, and then asked with a smile:

“Brother Zhang, this place is not bad, right?”

Zhang Zhe looked at the movie-like decoration style in the room, nodded and replied:

“It’s really good, but I don’t know how it tastes.”

“Brother Zhang, the local dishes here are among the best in the entire Magic City, especially his Tianshan Snow Lotus Pigeon Soup… It’s simply a must-try!”

Wang Shichong introduced it and asked:

“They don’t have much of a menu, they usually use the best ingredients of the season, Brother Zhang, do you have any taboos…”

“Just make your own arrangements.” Zhang Zhe replied.

“Okay.”

Wang Shichong nodded and instructed the butler waiting on the side:”Let’s start serving the dishes.”

Soon after, several waitresses wearing slim-fitting cheongsams, flesh-colored shiny stockings on their legs, and high heels came in with plates of beautifully shaped dishes.

Each private room in this private restaurant is equipped with a dedicated butler, who will quietly introduce each dish as it is served.

Kanto ginseng braised with scallions.

Golden peony silver cod.

Osmanthus smoked pomfret.

Millet stewed with fresh abalone.

Plum spare ribs.

Crispy small yellow croaker.

The dishes are mainly local cuisine, the portions are very small but the presentation is very delicate.

At first glance, it looks like a landscape painting, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

“Brother Zhang, try it. If you are not satisfied, I will ask the kitchen to change some dishes…”

Zhang Zhe nodded, and just as he was about to start eating, his cell phone rang.

Picking up the phone, it was a call from Li Hong, the artist manager of Mi Tao Media.

“Hello?”

“Hello, Mr. Zhang, I’m Li Hong from Mi Tao Media, you should remember me, right?~”

Perhaps because she felt that Zhang Zhe had not visited the company once since he acquired Mi Tao Media, Li Hong specially introduced herself.

Zhang Zhe had only met Li Hong twice, but he was still impressed by her for a simple reason…sexy.

Li Hong was in her early thirties this year. Although she was not good-looking, she had a very plump figure, like a ripe peach.

Zhang Zhe met her twice, and although she was wearing professional clothes, she always matched her with low-cut suspenders and very tight pants, showing her curves generously, as if she wanted to deliberately attract other people’s attention.

Zhang Zhe has always appreciated beautiful or well-built women, and he would feel happy even if he didn’t eat them. After all, it is human nature to pursue beauty.

But Zhang Zhe is not too cold to Li Hong, who is always feverish.

For example, now, when Li Hong speaks, she draws out a long tail tone, and her tone has an indescribable charm.

If you don’t know, you might think she made the call while doing something.

Zhang Zhe frowned and asked:

“What’s the matter?”

“Boss Zhang, it’s like this, the friend Teng Qingshan you arranged came to the company this morning.”

Li Hong still explained in a numbing voice:

“I have completed the entry procedures for him, signed an A-level guaranteed contract, and equipped him with a complete creative team. I called you to report the progress to you.”

“I see, is there anything else?” Zhang Zhe asked in a flat tone.

“There is one more thing.”

Seemingly realizing that Zhang Zhe was not buying her tricks, Li Hong’s voice became more formal and she asked:

“Boss Zhang, you said before that you wanted to expand the company. Now we have already made a plan. Do you have time tomorrow to come to the company for a meeting? I will report the details of the plan to you in person…”

“I don’t have time tomorrow. The meeting is postponed.”

Zhang Zhe replied calmly and then hung up the phone.

Although he had never managed Mi Tao Media, General Manager Zheng Zhong would report to Zhang Zhe from time to time.

I don’t know what Li Hong was thinking, whether she wanted to compete with General Manager Zheng Zhong for power, or simply wanted to show off in front of her.

But let the boss go back to the meeting?

It’s a bit funny.

The room was very quiet. Wang Shichong vaguely heard something about the media. After Zhang Zhe finished the call, he asked curiously:

“By the way, Brother Zhang, I heard you say a few days ago that you wanted your little brother Teng Qingshan to sign your company. I wonder which media it is?”

Zhang Zhe did not hide it and replied directly:

“Mi Tao Media is your neighbor.”

“Ah?”

Wang Shichong was a little surprised:

“Did you buy Mi Tao Media, Brother Zhang? I thought it was some innocent…”

Wang Shichong suddenly stopped talking, his expression slightly embarrassed.

“Huh?”

Zhang Zhe raised his eyebrows and asked:

“What’s wrong with Mi Tao Media?”

“There’s nothing wrong with the company. It’s mainly because the previous boss got into some trouble, so he sold Mi Tao Media.”

Wang Shichong waved his hand and replied:

“Brother Zhang, let’s eat first. After we finish eating, Brother Qin and I will explain to you…”
