Chapter 80 Cooperation

At this moment, Annie Hurst suddenly understood. Wang Xiuyuan's words were like a sudden enlightenment that resolved her inner conflict, and she instantly felt that the minor difficulties before her were nothing at all.

She only needed to maintain her own competitiveness and provide her younger sisters with an appropriate sense of crisis at all times; that would be enough.

The individual abilities of her sisters were far inferior to hers. She only needed to sit there quietly and watch as they constantly made mistakes and eliminated themselves from the race.

The smile on Annie Hurst's face became more radiant, a change that both Wang Xiuyuan and Mars noticed.

“Thank you very much, Wang Xiuyuan. Although you verbally refused to offer me advice, your actual actions say otherwise.

You have already pointed out a clear path to victory for me.”

However, Wang Xiuyuan did not accept Annie Hurst's statement. He didn't want to invite unnecessary trouble just because of a verbal thank-you.

Even if everyone knew the truth in their hearts, it could never be admitted verbally.

“I'll emphasize it again: I cannot give you any advice, nor can I interfere in your family's internal affairs. What you think is your own business.

However, we are friends now, after all, so we can still have some business cooperation.

But that's all about interests, so we must talk business as business.”

As soon as Wang Xiuyuan said this, Annie Hurst immediately perked up. She knew that Wang Xiuyuan was providing her with support in a disguised way, though this support was being carried out covertly.

Not only did Annie Hurst perk up, but Mars, sitting beside Wang Xiuyuan, also became interested.

Based on her understanding of Wang Xiuyuan, she knew an opportunity to make a fortune had arrived.

“Wang Xiuyuan, what business do you plan to cooperate on? If it's convenient, count me in.”

Looking at the enthusiastic Mars, Wang Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile.

Wasn't this a perfect, high-quality tool person?

He would only be responsible for providing the specific plans and execution standards, leaving everything else to the tool person to handle while still splitting the money. Why not do it?

The most crucial point was that the Mars Family's influence was strong enough, with excellent political and business relations all over the world. For the business he was about to launch, she was an extremely rare and high-quality partner.

“Of course, the profits of this business aren't as substantial as the private prison, so there will only be the three of us as partners.”

Before Wang Xiuyuan could even finish, Mars urged impatiently, “Tell me the details. What kind of business is it?”

Compared to Mars, Annie Hurst appeared much more composed. Although she was equally concerned about the matter, she didn't speak, instead sitting there and listening quietly to Wang Xiuyuan.

“Doesn't Annie work at the American Broadcasting Company (ABC)?

Although I don't know which specific section she's in charge of, I have a few very good program ideas. I feel like these ideas have a high probability of becoming hits.

So we can cooperate like this.

Mars and I will establish a company to record these programs and then hand them over to ABC for broadcasting. This form of cooperation is the currently popular Separation of Production and Broadcasting.

As long as the program becomes a hit, Annie, as the person in charge of the interface for this program, will certainly receive very high evaluations.

Subsequently, Annie will also gain greater authority and a voice within ABC. After all, her family holds a large number of shares in the company.

As for the capital for the production company Mars and I will establish, it will be in a three-to-seven ratio, with you, Mars, providing seventy percent.

In terms of actual equity distribution, I will hold fifty-one percent, and Mars will hold forty-nine percent.

I will be responsible for the creativity and plans for all programs, while Mars will be responsible for the company's daily operations, management, and program production.

What do you both think?”

Today was Annie Hurst's first time dealing with Wang Xiuyuan. Before this, she had heard some stories about his deeds, so she already felt some reverence for him.

Furthermore, Wang Xiuyuan's excellent performance just now had greatly deepened Annie Hurst's admiration for him, so she held extremely high expectations for his cooperation plan.

But when Wang Xiuyuan finished explaining the plan, Annie Hurst fell into deep self-doubt because she couldn't see how this plan was reliable at all.

Not only did she fail to see where it was reliable, but there was a mountain of unreliable information instead.

Whether a program can become a hit depends on your 'feeling'?

That requires a massive amount of content as support and a massive amount of resources for promotion. Your program hasn't even been recorded yet; on what basis can you say it will be a hit?

Producing a program easily requires an investment of tens of millions of dollars in cash. You just provide a program idea and take away twenty-one percent of the equity for free, and even hold absolute control over the company?

On what basis?

Although Annie Hurst's mind was filled with various doubts, she didn't show them at this moment.

On the contrary, Mars was full of confidence in this seemingly flawed cooperation plan and agreed to Wang Xiuyuan's proposal without hesitation.

“No problem, I choose to join this cooperation. Just tell me how much money I should put in. Give me a number, and I'll transfer the money to the company account as soon as the company is established.”

“Thirty million dollars. I'll put in nine million, and you'll put in twenty-one million.

After the company is established, I'll hand over the company documents and program ideas to you. You can start looking for candidates for the production team now; you can have Annie give you some recommendations.”

Just like that, Wang Xiuyuan and Mars finalized a big business deal with a total investment of thirty million dollars right in front of Annie Hurst. The speed was so fast that she didn't even have time to react.

“Can I say something?

Mars, don't you need to discuss such an important decision with your family? This is, after all, a big business deal requiring twenty-one million dollars in capital.

And you haven't even seen the specific content of Wang Xiuyuan's program ideas yet. Are you so certain his ideas will definitely be hits?

Isn't this a bit too hasty?”

Annie Hurst's doubts didn't even need Wang Xiuyuan to explain; Mars spoke up first.

“The thing is, there's no need. The startup capital I have was originally obtained because Wang Xiuyuan gave me advice.

The prison business he led us into last time is developing very well now, and everything is progressing smoothly.

According to the evaluation by my Mars Family management team, those shares of mine will be worth at least over a billion dollars in the future. Even if these twenty-one million dollars are completely lost, it's nothing.

What is Wang Xiuyuan's status now? He's a super-rich man with a net worth of nearly ten billion dollars.

He has already proven his ability with three consecutive successes. If he didn't have a high degree of confidence in success, he wouldn't speak easily. Losing a little money is no big deal for Wang Xiuyuan.

But such a failure would greatly damage his reputation, and he hasn't failed yet!

Before he experiences his first failure, I just need to support him blindly. Everything else will be done according to what Wang Xiuyuan says.”

In the end, Mars was the one who was truly clear-headed, knowing how to find a reliable person and then firmly follow behind that person to develop together.

Mars's individual ability might be average, but her vision was truly excellent. Once she identified Wang Xiuyuan as a powerful support, she held on tight and refused to let go.

She was a person with truly great wisdom.

She knew how to use the resources around her to help herself grow, and she knew that if her own ability wasn't enough, she should find someone capable and of good character to 'borrow momentum'!

Those ordinary people who thought they were clever didn't have as strong an awareness as Mars.
