26: Chapter 26: Buy a company and casually sign Phoenix Legend.

Zhao Yang did not go directly back to Jinghai, but instead went to the provincial capital city, Binjiang.

In a quiet and elegant teahouse, Zhao Yang sat opposite a capable-looking middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man sipped his tea and sized up Zhao Yang: "Mr. Zhao, you surprise me. I didn't expect you to be so young."

Zhao Yang smiled: "Manager Wu, do you regret traveling such a long distance?"

"No regrets," Wu Yuedong said. "Since I've taken the money, the job must be done properly."

Wu Yuedong, a native of Pengcheng, was an Advanced Consultant at Weida Information Consulting Company.

Before Zhao Yang went to the capital, he had entrusted this company to find small companies in Pengcheng and Xiangjiang that were eager to sell. It had only been a few days, and there were already results.

Zhao Yang picked up his teacup and made a gesture of invitation: "I didn't expect you to be so fast either. Did you bring everything?"

Wu Yuedong pondered for a moment: "Mr. Zhao, there is a small matter I just found out about. That company's business scope is very broad, and there is an unexpired long-term resident singer contract, with two singers under its name."

Zhao Yang was stunned for a moment: "If I buy the company, do I have to inherit this contract?"

"Actually..." Wu Yuedong said cautiously, "I've looked into it. These two singers usually find their own gigs at bars and dance halls. The contract only has half a year left, and each person only costs 500 yuan a month in salary. It's no burden to you."

"Did you bring the relevant documents for the resident singer contract? Let me see."

"Please take a look first. If you are not satisfied, I can find another company." Wu Yuedong handed over a copy.

Zhao Yang flipped through a few pages, and his gaze suddenly fixed on something.

Cool Fire Group?

He thought he had misread it, so he looked at it carefully again.

It was correct.

The future Phoenix Legend.

"The vast horizon is my love..."

Zhao Yang almost hummed it out loud.

This is too much of a coincidence. At this point in time, these two really seem to be hanging around bars and dance halls in Pengcheng.

I've struck gold.

"Keep them," Zhao Yang said casually. "It really won't cost much. By the way, are there any results regarding the Xiangjiang company?"

"I have also prepared some Materials for you this time," Wu Yuedong said. "There are a large number of ready-made small companies available for acquisition in Xiangjiang. I have selected the one registered for the longest time for you. The price might be slightly higher, but if it were a relatively new company, a sudden large cash flow could easily attract the attention of financial regulatory authorities."

Zhao Yang glanced at him: "Did you guess what I intend to do?"

"You are controlling companies in both Pengcheng and Xiangjiang simultaneously, and your purpose is very clear. No matter what you do, it will definitely involve large cash flows."

Zhao Yang smiled: "Let's look at the Materials again."

"Very well." Wu Yuedong handed over another stack of documents.

Zhao Yang quickly browsed through them. Although his knowledge in this area was just last-minute cramming, he had the talent of Photographic Memory, combined with an intelligence level 40% higher than the average person, so it wasn't difficult for him to read.

Soon, he looked up: "Mr. Wu, I admire your efficiency and professional level. These two companies, Rongkaida in Xiangjiang and Helian Xingye in Pengcheng, completely meet my needs."

"In that case, Mr. Zhao, I have already brought the transfer contracts. Once you sign them and complete the subsequent payments, these two companies will be yours."

"The contracts will have to wait a moment; the person signing them hasn't arrived yet." Zhao Yang took out his phone and dialed a number. "Xiaolan, where are you? ... Okay, I'll come down to pick you up."

Hanging up the phone, Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Sorry, I need to pick someone up. I'll be right back."

"Please do, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Yang went downstairs and immediately saw Gao Qilan standing at the entrance.

She had obviously dressed up carefully—a light blue short trench coat with jeans, long hair draped over her shoulders, and a pair of glasses on her face.

Zhao Yang nodded secretly. This was the right vibe. How could Gao Qilan not wear glasses?

But her temperament was still too green right now; it needed to be cultivated slowly.

"Brother Yang..." Gao Qilan tugged at the corner of his clothes, her face as red as an apple. "You asked me to bring my ID card... is it so we can stay... stay outside tonight?"

After she finished speaking, her head was almost bowed to her chest.

Zhao Yang felt a stir in his heart. It wasn't impossible. But it was too rash; it would be a bit irresponsible to the young lady.

"I say, Xiaolan, if we were staying at a hotel, I could just use my own ID card."

"That won't do. You are a public servant. What if having a hotel check-in record outside is bad? So I..." Gao Qilan was halfway through her sentence when she received a light flick on her forehead.

"It's only been a few days, and you've got so many thoughts. Who taught you this? Your second brother?"

Gao Qilan shook her head repeatedly: "It wasn't my second brother. It was my roommate who knew you were coming... and gave me the idea."

Zhao Yang couldn't help but shake his head. Topics in girls' dorms were much more explosive than those in boys' dorms.

"We'll talk about accommodation later. Remember I said I'd buy a company for you? You're about to be a boss."

"Huh?" Gao Qilan looked bewildered. "Are you really buying a company for me?"

Zhao Yang patted her shoulder: "Xiaolan, I won't hide it from you. My status isn't suitable for doing business. In the future, I hope you will be the one to handle business matters."

Gao Qilan already had a partner bond with him and was the person Zhao Yang trusted most. She would never do anything detrimental to him.

"Brother Yang, that's no problem. I'm just afraid that since I don't know anything, I'll delay your affairs."

Zhao Yang ruffled her hair: "My Xiaolan is so smart; you'll learn whatever you don't know quickly. It'll be fine."

"Okay."

...

Back upstairs, Gao Qilan signed the contracts readily.

Zhao Yang withdrew some cash and transferred it to the seller's account through Gao Qilan's bank card.

The System notification suddenly rang out—

[Ding! Host has established their own forces and gained the talent: Seal of Hearts Return.]

[Seal of Hearts Return: Increases the loyalty of the host's subordinates.]

There's actually such a benefit.

Meanwhile, in Pengcheng.

A man and a woman were working on a new song in a rehearsal room when they suddenly both felt an indescribable sensation in their hearts.

The current company is really good; they even pay us 500 yuan every month.

Zhao Yang's gaze fell on Wu Yuedong. Although they hadn't been in contact for long, he could tell that this man was knowledgeable and capable.

"Mr. Wu, these two companies are both empty shells, and I don't have time to manage them for the time being. My girlfriend is still in school, so I would like to ask you to help manage them for a period of time. Of course, I won't let you work for nothing."

Wu Yuedong smiled and said: "Helping clients temporarily maintain the basic operations of a company is also one of our services. I will print out a proxy contract for you later."

Zhao Yang waved his hand: "That's too much trouble. Why don't we draft one right now—hiring Mr. Wu as the CEO of both companies for a period of three months. A monthly salary of 10,000, and once the contract is signed, I'll pay one month's salary in advance. I will transfer the necessary basic operating expenses for the companies to the public account as soon as possible."

Wu Yuedong's heart rate accelerated. Maintaining the basic operations of two companies was something he could do all by himself. A monthly salary of 10,000 was several times his current salary.

Although he felt a bit guilty towards his boss, a monthly salary of 10,000 was just too tempting! He still nodded: "Well... that works."

"There's no time like the present; let's sign the contract immediately."

...

After Wu Yuedong signed his name on the short-term employment contract, he subconsciously glanced at Zhao Yang.

Following this boss definitely has a future.

A short-term contract? That's not enough! I must find a way to sign a lifetime contract.
