Chapter 458: The Prince's Call

Huh?

Everyone was collectively dumbfounded: ???

Wei Rusi held her forehead with difficulty, her face full of bitterness. It was truly... over. It seemed another woman was about to fall into Zheng Qian's trap of tenderness. She had a live broadcast room already? And it just happened to be her birthday anniversary?

Lindsay, on the other hand, felt very empathetic towards Jacqueline, and even wanted to register a live streaming account immediately.

Well... although today isn't her birthday anniversary, it is her "first time"!

Offering up her "first time" should be grand enough, right?

Alright, even if it's just her "first live broadcast," it is still very precious!

"No problem, old iron, I just love a straightforward big brother! Brother Jiao is so straightforward, he will definitely come to my live stream to support me, right? Give those foreigners a little taste of Oriental shock, and let them know that Jiuzhou has straightforward big brothers too!"

Jacqueline was worthy of being a CEO; she spent every day figuring out how to sweet-talk investors.

Flattery came right off her tongue, but...

Zheng Qian's English wasn't very good, and after she had been talking for a while, he hadn't understood a word of it.

He just looked at Wei Rusi and the others beside him with a suspicious expression, coughed awkwardly, and said, "Uh... that... can someone help me translate? I didn't understand what she was saying."

For some reason, Wei Rusi secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

She quickly smiled sheepishly and said a few words to Jacqueline, seemingly explaining that Zheng Qian didn't understand. Then she hurriedly said to him, "Jacqueline means she is very happy to meet you."

Zheng Qian: ???

He glanced at the Favorability above Jacqueline's head, and it had damn well soared directly to 62 points. Just "very happy"?

"That's it?" He was very skeptical.

"That's it, just those few words." Wei Rusi nodded very seriously.

He looked at Jacqueline suspiciously. She had just said such a long string of words, and you simplified it to "very happy to meet you"? Zheng Qian knew the English for that phrase, and damn it... something felt wrong.

"But I thought I heard her say a string of numbers just now?"

"No, you misheard."

Wei Rusi shook her head firmly. There were already too many girls around Zheng Qian. What if another foreign woman appeared; how would she explain it to Jin Lu when they got back? Fortunately, Zheng Qian's English wasn't very good, so she should be able to prevent this ill-fated connection.

"Mr. Zheng, regarding the matter you mentioned earlier about investing in our company..."

Jacqueline asked tentatively, glancing at Wei Rusi.

(The subsequent dialogue will be written directly. To avoid affecting the reading experience, the tedious translation process is omitted. Just know that there is a translator in between. Love you all~)

"Well, Lindsay has already told me the general situation of your company. It seems that financing is very difficult. Not only that, even many supervisors, shareholders, and key employees are planning to sell their shares."

"I did the math, and including your own share, if we push it to the limit, it could reach 90 percent."

"I'm offering 1 billion USD to buy it outright, how about it?"

Zheng Qian leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and said indifferently.

1 billion USD!

Jacqueline turned to stone on the spot. This was the company's valuation at its absolute peak. Note, it was just a valuation, not the actual assets worth that much money. Not to mention that after a long period of consumption, the company was no longer worth that much at all.

He... he was simply an angel!

With this money, she could completely go and start other entrepreneurial projects; this company wasn't worth keeping anyway!

Jacqueline's whole body trembled violently, and she was too excited to speak.

"How about it? If you aren't satisfied with this number, then..."

"No! I agree, I agree so much! Angel, in my eyes, you are the most amazing angel! Oh shit, sorry for using such rude words to express my inner joy! May I ask when we can sign the contract?"

"The sooner the better, we can arrange it now."

Zheng Qian laughed. He liked straightforward people, especially those like Jacqueline. Even for a 1 billion USD business deal, she could make a decision quickly. Well, he also admitted that the price he offered was indeed impossible to refuse.

"Lindsay, I have something to tell you."

Zheng Qian crooked his finger, signaling her to lean in, and whispered, "In a while, you take some people to her company and start the acquisition process. Their directors are going crazy with anxiety, afraid the money will be stuck in their hands, so this price should pass the meeting very quickly. Also, there is a more important matter; before the acquisition, arrange a task first."

"As far as I know, the SUN platform is currently one of the top three social media platforms in this country, and it's very influential. Immediately have the internal staff ban all accounts that praise the First Prince Rahad, and also block related topics."

"However, for content about the Second Prince Rahman, you can amplify it purposefully. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lindsay's pupils trembled slightly, and she nodded quickly.

Could he be trying to get involved in the royal family's disputes? Does he think so highly of the Second Prince? But... didn't they come to this country just to build a bank? Could there be some other purpose?

However, she didn't ask.

Jacqueline hurriedly urged her to go to the company to hold a shareholders' meeting, preparing to quickly vote and pass the acquisition agreement. It seemed she was afraid that Zheng Qian would go back on his word; having finally caught such a sucker, she couldn't let it slip away.

It was estimated that the entire process would be completed very quickly.

"You are doing this to curry favor with the Second Prince Rahman?"

Wei Rusi's gaze was like a torch; after they all left the restaurant, she said to Zheng Qian.

"That's right, and if things go smoothly, the influence has already started to ferment."

Zheng Qian smiled and opened his phone, shaking it.

As it turned out, the footage of the PK just now had already been edited by many people and posted to various video websites. In addition to the SUN platform itself, there were YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc., forming a wave of popularity.

It not only highlighted the mysterious "Brother Jiao's" inhuman wealth, but also focused on attacking that overseas blogger.

Showing their ugly state vividly, then people started to leak news and gossip, saying that if they were such bad people, then their usual boasting about how great the First Prince Rahad of this country was must also be exaggerated.

Wei Rusi was stunned.

She looked at Zheng Qian blankly, "How did you do that?"

"Actually, after the incident where I was secretly photographed by reporters last time, I started to intentionally build my own public opinion team. I temporarily let Zhong Xiaoyao and Qin Xueli lead it, and in the future, I will replace them with more professional people."

"They have already screen-recorded the entire live broadcast process just now. Moreover, they contacted many overseas content creators, paid them to hype up this PK, and incidentally achieved our goal."

Zheng Qian was very satisfied with this result.

It was even better than he had imagined.

[Beep—]

Just at this moment, his phone rang.

"Hello? Hello Mr. Zheng, I am Rahman Qasim Said."
