He won 900 million in the lottery.

Chapter 244 Betrayal

NM blind boxes.

Our assistant, Yueyue, was already waiting for us at the door.

"Mr. Ma has arrived, and Mr. Wang is receiving him in the conference room."

The deal went very smoothly.

From Mr. Ma's deposit to the timely payment of the final balance, there were almost no obstacles.

Xu Jingyan supervised the signing of the formalities throughout the process.

The authorization agreement was signed in the company's name.

Both the deposit and the final payment were made in Ma Ben's personal name.

Ma Ben is a shareholder of this company.

Franchise authorization is a simple contract signing process, but Xu Jingyan produced another document she had prepared: a large-amount transfer transaction evidence signed by NM Blind Box, Ma Benfang, and the notary office.

This is a certificate verifying the original ID card, the consistency of the ID card copy, and that the bank card used for transfer is a bank card under the same name.

Ma Ben said to Xu Jingyan, "I was quite surprised by Manager Xu's professionalism last time."

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Wang Chen stepped forward and shook hands.

I had a very formal business lunch with Mr. Ma at noon.

in the afternoon.

Jin Hu arrived at NM Blind Box.

"Mr. Shen, it's perfect that you're here too. I'd like to have a chat with you."

As expected, Jin Hu talked about the gold mine project. Of course, he didn't mention the gold mine itself, but instead used the term "projects handled by leaders" to refer to it. Wang Chen was not in Qiu Zhanyu's circle.

"Tiger, are you so sure this project will be fine?"

"The leader will take us to investigate tomorrow. We'll find out whether it's true or not soon enough. I haven't made a decision yet, but preparing in advance can give us a head start."

Objectively speaking, this is indeed a good thing, if the leader is reliable.

"What are your plans?"

"I held 400 million NM blind boxes on behalf of Wang Chen, which are now worth about 800. I originally wanted to talk to you privately about the short drama company, but since you're here, let's talk about it together. The short drama company is my life's work, but after what happened last time, I still feel that I need to transform the business. So, I want to sell the company completely. Mr. Shen, you have 49% of the shares, so I wanted to consult you first to see if you would take over the whole thing."

Jin Hu's short drama company is among the top in China, holding the copyrights to hundreds of short dramas and contracts with hundreds of internet celebrities. When the Zhou family repurchased ZG Supply Chain Company, Jin Hu offered 49% of the shares, worth 1.5 million yuan, to Zhou Fan as a protective charm.

"What discount are you willing to offer for the remaining shares?"

"1.5 million in cash."

"Is this much really necessary?"

"Hehe, I'll eventually be unable to stop making short dramas, so I might as well make my move sooner rather than later."

Jin Hu, having roamed the world, was well aware of the methods used by leaders like Zhou Fan and had already begun preparing for his escape route.

"Aren't you considering retaining a portion of the equity?"

"People like us are all alone wherever we go. Leaving a tail behind is pointless, so we might as well not leave one."

Jin Hu is right.

Zhou Fan, if he's so inclined, will eventually nibble away at this 51% stake for him, little by little.

"I'll take a maximum of 2%, you can find someone else for the rest."

Jin Hu gave me a strange look: "President Shen is also very interested in the leader's project?"

I shook my head: "I'm short of cash flow and really can't do anything about it. Otherwise, I would have bought out all 51% of your shares."

Jin Hu also breathed a sigh of relief. He was going all in on the gold mine project, hoping to both get on the leader's side and make money—killing two birds with one stone. The more people involved, the less say he would have. What he wanted was not just to be an investor, but to be on the leader's side and be in the same boat.

Of the 6 million, Qiu Zhanyu needs to prepare at least 3 million.

Jin Hu turned to Wang Chen and asked, "Do you want that one from my company?"

Wang Chen smiled wryly: "Brother Tiger, if you had said six months ago that this was definitely no problem, I would have helped you out. But now, I'm in dire straits, and Tianyi is a hands-off manager. I have neither the will nor the ability to help."

Jin Hu nodded, without saying much.

After Jin Hu left.

Xu Jingyan asked, "Why not buy the remaining 51% of the shares? I know the financial situation of this short drama company very well; its profits will be very substantial over the next three years."

"Of course I want it, but he's in a hurry to sell, so I can't price it at 1.5 million. Let him ask around first."

Xu Jingyan nodded: "You're the more ruthless one."

Wang Chen, standing to the side, was quite envious of me: "It's good to be rich. You can invest in good projects whenever you want. Unlike me, I've worked so hard for so long and ended up working for you."

"Class monitor, don't say that. My business in the provincial capital depends on you. If NM goes public, I can transfer the shares of the short drama company to you. You can decide how much or how little."

"real?"

"Absolutely!"

Leaving the NM blind box building.

Xu Jingyan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "Boss, I've discovered that you really know how to make empty promises and fool people."

I corrected him, saying, "If you make a boast and then don't deliver, it's just empty promises. But I usually keep my word."

"Yes, yes, you're right."

"Little ice cube, you've learned to talk back, haven't you?"

I put my arm around the woman's waist and started tickling her.

After four months of construction,

The ZQ computing power project is now operational and generating continuous revenue.

ZQ Club.

"Su Tao, Tian Kai, and Yu Chi Lin have all decided to invest in the gold mine."

"Wei Chi Lin and Qiu Zhan Yu are also having an affair?"

Wu Yingrong nodded dejectedly: "I didn't notice before, I didn't expect that this slut had already hooked up with Qiu Zhanyu. No wonder Qiu Zhanyu hasn't come to my place these past few years."

"Do you still have feelings for Qiu Zhanyu?"

"What a load of rubbish! If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have paid him back the money I made from him. That's 1000 million yuan, and I even mortgaged my house."

"You do know how to go all in..."

He teased Wu Yingrong with a couple of lines.

Closer to home.

"How much are they prepared to contribute?"

"Su Tao and Tian Kai each received 1500 million, but I don't know about Yu Chi Lin; she didn't say."

"Why is there so little?"

"That's quite a lot. Don't forget, each of ZQ and the others still has 2500 million. These days, who has that much liquid capital? After all, they still have to maintain the basic operation of their businesses."

"Ji Xin hasn't replied?"

Wu Yingrong rolled her eyes at me: "He said you sold Liancheng's company to her, and it cost a lot of money."

"This woman is quite wealthy."

"She's not only rich, but also powerful. Qiu Zhanyu usually doesn't dare to offend her."

It's only now realizing that of ZQ's six investors, four have turned against them...

"I'll go see Hu Chuyue first."

"Hu Chuyue has already indicated that he will not participate in the gold mine project."

"??"

This surprised me. Jin Hu was about to go all in, so why did Hu Chuyue back down?
