122: Deal Done

But no matter what, Yuanyang Group was his life's work; how could he possibly sell it?

“Young Master Wang, you jest. Yuanyang Group is my life’s work. From the moment I founded it, I never once thought of selling it. However, I am very interested in Young Master Wang’s investment.”

Hearing this, Wang Shaojun’s lips curved into a smile. Heh, he took the bait.

He knew Wei Jinhua wouldn't sell, and he hadn't intended to acquire it anyway. If he wanted to acquire it, there were many ways.

But doing so would only create another enemy, and he had no grievances with Wei Jinhua.

So it wasn't worth it. His initial goal was to become a shareholder of Yuanyang Group, preferably the second-largest shareholder.

Acquiring Yuanyang Group was just a way to make the other party relent.

Thinking of this, he chuckled twice and said, “That’s truly a pity. Then let’s discuss the shareholding. I won’t take advantage. Based on Yuanyang Group’s current stock price, I want 20% of the shares for 13 billion.”

“Impossible, 20% is too much. 15% at most.”

As soon as Wang Shaojun finished speaking, Wei Jinhua flatly refused.

At the same time, he gained a completely new understanding of Wang Shaojun’s financial power.

13 billion, just like that? Or had the other party been eyeing his Yuanyang Group for a long time?

13 billion! Not long ago, he spent 19 billion to buy Xitan Palace, and now he wants to spend 13 billion to invest in their group.

The total, adding these two together, exceeds 30 billion. And the most, most, most important thing is that this is cash flow.

How terrifying is this? Even those hundred-billion-dollar groups might not be able to casually pull out 30 billion like him.

What’s wrong with this world? He is still just a young man in his early twenties.

He felt a bit self-pitying. His Yuanyang Group, which he had painstakingly managed for decades, almost couldn't compare to the amount of money the other party had spent in this short time.

Hmm, perhaps it's even more than that. Truly, there’s no comparison without harm.

Seeing his reaction, Wang Shaojun just chuckled softly, then said, “Don’t rush, let me finish. I can give you the right to exercise the 20% shares. I only want dividends. 13 billion is enough to solve your immediate urgent need.”

“Young Master Wang, are you sure you won’t interfere with Yuanyang Group’s decisions?”

“Of course, didn't I say? I only want dividends, but... you have to do me a favor.”

Wei Jinhua frowned upon hearing this. Is it coming?

Is this the reason he wants equity in Yuanyang Group?

However, he was genuinely curious about what Wang Shaojun wanted him to do.

Hmm, being able to possess so much liquid capital, befriending him, or letting him invest in Yuanyang Group, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be all beneficial to Yuanyang Group with no harm.

“Tell me, what kind of favor would make Young Master Wang spend 13 billion?”

“This favor is very simple for Yuanyang Group: suppress the Chen Group in Jiangcheng.”

The Chen Group is only worth around 20 billion, while Yuanyang Group is three times larger than them.

Actually, he could do it himself, but that would be a bit troublesome. It's better to find someone else to deal with them.

This saves time and effort, and he can also get shares in Yuanyang Group. Why not?

Hearing that name, Wei Jinhua was a little confused. The Chen Group in Jiangcheng?

He had heard a little about this group, as they were barely half-colleagues. What he hadn't expected was that Wang Shaojun would ask him for help with this.

He raised his hand to stroke his chin, his mind working furiously. The Chen Group’s shipping business barely accounted for half of their group. If he suppressed them with full force, they would eventually have to cut off an arm to survive.

However, although he had only met Wang Shaojun twice, someone who could invest 13 billion in Yuanyang Group and only want dividends...

He didn't believe Wang Shaojun only wanted them to cut off an arm to survive, but he didn't care about that.

“Deal!”

With this 13 billion, Yuanyang Group might be able to reach a higher level, and most importantly, it would be backed by Wang Shaojun, this god of wealth.

“Hahaha, excellent, it’s settled then. The day after tomorrow, I will establish Heavenly Palace Group. Tomorrow, you can start arranging the 20% shares. The day after tomorrow, we’ll sign the contract at Tiangong Building.”

Heavenly Palace Group?

Wei Jinhua was secretly astonished. If he established a group, those competitors would probably suffer.

It's hard to imagine what kind of storm a person who doesn't lack money will stir up in the industries he enters.

But it seems that the entertainment industry, that big dye vat, will probably be the first to bear the brunt.

After all, Heavenly Palace Media has been established for some time.

Looking at it this way, having him invest in Yuanyang Group would be like adding wings to a tiger for Yuanyang Group.

Of course, the precondition is that he doesn't have designs on him, otherwise... danger!

If... “Young Master Wang, do you think this is feasible? I find some of the guys at Yuanyang Group a bit of an eyesore. How about you take action to kick them out, and their shares go to you? As for those in the stock market, you can also acquire them. I still hold 56%, and I can give you another 5% then. I only need 51%. I can cooperate with you on all of this, but I have one small condition.”

Wang Shaojun was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Heh, interesting, what does he mean by this?

Before, he had kept Yuanyang Group so tightly guarded, but now he’s so easy to talk to. If this were true, then Yuanyang Group would only have the two of them as shareholders in the future.

Is this a decision made after hearing that he was going to establish Heavenly Palace Group?

“Oh, what condition? Tell me. If it’s not too excessive, I can agree to it.”

He wouldn't be trying to get a piece of Heavenly Palace Group, would he?

Sure enough, Wei Jinhua smiled sheepishly and said, “I want to invest in your Heavenly Palace Group. Not much, just 1% of the shares will do.”

Heh! He really is after Heavenly Palace Group’s shares, but only 1%?

This was unexpected for Wang Shaojun.

However, although 1% is very little, for him, it’s already a lot.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of listing Heavenly Palace Group. After all, what is listing for?

Isn't it for raising money? But does he want capital?

He doesn't need it at all, so Heavenly Palace Group’s shares will not enter the market. Therefore, 1% is a lot.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the seat. The size of Yuanyang Group was not large in his eyes, but not small either.

His boldness was quite considerable.

“You trust Heavenly Palace Group that much?”

“No, no, no, I trust Young Master Wang.”

“Haha, then I truly thank you for your trust. However, Heavenly Palace Group has no plans to go public. Not now, and not in the future. Although 1% of the shares is neither here nor there, for me, Heavenly Palace Group would no longer be perfect.”

Hearing the words “not going public,” Wei Jinhua not only didn’t feel disappointed but became even more determined to invest in Heavenly Palace Group.

“Young Master Wang, as long as you agree, just name your terms.”

Wang Shaojun heard this and secretly sighed. This Wei Jinhua’s vision is truly sharp, or is he too high-profile?

He dared to make such a decision based on his actions alone.

“Alright, but I can only give you 0.5% of the shares, and I want absolute controlling power over Yuanyang Group. You can keep 40%, and you will still be the Chairman of Yuanyang Group. And your 0.5% equity will only have dividend rights, and if you want to sell it, you can only sell it to me. Of course, you won’t suffer a loss; your 0.5% will never be diluted. If you agree, then it’s a deal.”

Wei Jinhua frowned upon hearing this. 0.5%?

Isn't that too low? Based on Yuanyang Group’s current stock price, 16% of the shares are worth roughly 10 billion.

0.5% of 10 billion?

This... is a bit too terrifying.

Is he that confident, valuing Heavenly Palace Group even more terrifyingly than Tencent?

However, he wasn't very concerned about money, but rather Wang Shaojun himself.

His action was no less than a huge gamble. If he won, the future prospects would be unimaginable. If he lost...

Yuanyang Group changes hands? But no matter what, he still held 40% of Yuanyang Group’s shares. These were enough for him to live comfortably in his old age, and even his descendants for three generations wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing.

If he loses, he retires early. If he wins, then... “Alright, we have a deal!”
