Chapter 601 (2/2)

“Howdy, you’re also here, Chu Yi?” Exclaimed Tang Wei with a cheerful expression after finding that the one sitting in front of Tang Xiu was Chu Yi.

“Why can’t I come here if you can?” Replied Chu Yi, “Besides, I have taken up Tang Xiu’s time for the latter half of this day.”

Having said that, he nodded to Qin Shaoyang and smilingly said, “How come you get along with this bloke, Shaoyang? This chap should have taken you to the Kande Club, right?”

Qin Shaoyang took off his coat. He wore rather thin clothes, so his streamlined muscles were revealed. At this time, he smiled and answered, “Nope. It was me who took him there.”

Chu Yi let out a grin and then pointed at Tang Xiu, saying, “You won’t need me to introduce you to him since his fame now is even bigger than Zhao Yundi’s, right? Anyways, Tang Xiu, this is Qin Shaoyang, the fella who can be said to have the widest network and personal connections in the entire Beijing. One who tries to never offend anybody, I must say. But do be cautious of him, though. This guy is too smart; you’ll never know when he will sell and betray you.”

Qin Shaoyang forced a wry smile and said, “Tell me, Chu Yi, how come a friend act like you? Everyone else is always upholding their friends, yet you act on the contrary, even saying that I’m gonna turn my back and betray others. Anyways, my idol Tang Xiu, I’m honored to meet you.”

Tang Xiu got up and shook hands with Qin Shaoyang and then gestured for him to sit next to Chu Yi. Then, he patted the sofa next to him and smilingly spoke to Tang Wei, “Brother Wei, didn’t you talk with your friend outside about some things? How come you have time to come here?”

While pointing at Qin Shaoyang, Tang Wei replied, “He’s the one I had a discussion over some matters with. The subject is bit big though, so I may not be able to participate in it. Thus, I want to introduce him to you.”

Tang Wei then explained Qin Shaoyang’s previous proposal and finally said, “Anyways, the possibility that I may follow your suggestion to become a government official is about 80% now, so I don’t want to involve myself in a business cooperation. You’re a business genius in my eyes, so you might as well have some fun in it if you’re interested.”

Tang Xiu glanced at Qin Shaoyuang before turning his head again and asking, “Is there anyone in our Tang Family that can play the role to set it up?”

“Auntie Yanzi definitely has the authority for that,” answered Tang Wei.

Tang Xiu suddenly understood. After spending a few minutes thinking about it, he then said, “Qin Shaoyang, right? I’m indeed very interested in the business cooperation you proposed. But I think we need to consider the issue of management and shares further if we are going to have a business cooperation.”

Qin Shaoyang’s eyes lit and immediately said, “Please do say, Young Master Tang.”

“Just call me Tang Xiu later! I’m used to having others calling me by my name.” Tang Xiu waved his hand. “I’ll invest 2 billion of the total 4-billion-yuan investment, but you’ll be the one who’ll run the business, whereas I won’t intervene in any aspects regarding the management. You will hold 51% of the shares, whereas I will have 40% and the remaining 9% will be used to get a hold over the top executives of the company after it gets established. What do you think?”

Qin Shaoyang didn’t expect that Tang Xiu would be willing to provide 2 billion, moreover that he would only be accounted for 40% of the shares. It gave him a good impression of Tang Xiu. At the very least, he believed that Tang Xiu wouldn’t take advantage of him given his status as a member of the Tang Family. With such boldness, cooperating with this type of person would be quite appealing in the future.

“I have no opinion about that,” said Qin Shaoyang quickly.

“But I do,” grunted Chu Yi while rolling his eyes at them.

Tang Xiu and Qin Shaoyang looked slightly dazed for a second, before confused expressions appeared on their faces.

“Tell me, why did the two of you not invite me to such a good investment project?” Asked Chu Yi. “Needless to say about others, but for better or for worse, it’s better to enjoy the blessing and endure misfortune together. It’s a profitable business, so everyone can earn money together!”

“Alright! (Fine!)”

Tang Xiu and Qin Shaoyang didn’t object it. Although Tang Xiu and Chu Yi were cousins and his aunt, Tang Min, was also centered in the Tang Family, yet Chu Yi was a member of the Chu Family of Beijing, after all. His family may not be as prominent as the Tang Family in the capital, but still, it was also a prominent leader of the mid-sized families and could be ranked in the top fifteen even if they couldn’t enter the top ten.

Furthermore, Chu Yi himself lived in the capital since childhood, and his personal connections as well as social circles were also here. If he also joined in the venture it would be a great boon, for they would establish an entertainment media company in the future.

At the end of the day, after discussing this matter, the trio finally determined the amount of investment and the allocation of shares. Tang Xiu would invest 1 billion yuan, accounting for 30% of the shares; Chu Yin would invest 500 million for 15% shares, whereas 10% shares would be reserved for the company’s top management in the future. The remaining 45% of the shares would belong to Qin Shaoyang, with an investment contribution of 1.5 billion yuan.

After the end of the discussion, Tang Wei intended to invite everyone for a few cups to celebrate it, but Tang Xiu refused because he had already promised to have dinner at Chu Yi’s house.

“Let’s hang out together tomorrow night! We’ll discuss some details of the cooperation and then sign the contract.”

“Fine with me. Then we’ll gather in the Kangde Club tomorrow!” Chin Shaoyang smilingly said. “Anyways, have you ever been to Kangde Club, Tang Xiu?”

“Never heard of it, to be honest,” said Tang Xiu, shaking his head.

“Kangde Club is the best place for the scions of the super-rich and prominent families like us,” said Tang Wei with a smile. “If I were to make an analogy, if the leading figure of a family has family assets worth no more than 10 billion yuan, then there’s no way they will be able to enter the club’s door.”
