195: Liu Jingming's fear, kicked out of the studio

"President Jiang, you started shorting Feima Auto Group yesterday?"

A drop of cold sweat seeped from Shen Yifei's forehead. His eyes quickly turned to Jiang Qianyu in disbelief, seeking an answer.

"That's right!"

Jiang Qianyu nodded with a sigh. She actually didn't want the matter of shorting Feima Auto Group to be exposed.

She wanted to wait for the right moment for her best friend, Li Qingyan, to find out naturally.

That way, she could make a grand reveal.

"Did you really make 27 billion from it?"

Shen Yifei clenched his fists, secretly swallowing his saliva.

Actually, when Jiang Qianyu said they started shorting Feima Group yesterday, he already knew the outcome.

Because the only force that started shorting Feima Auto Group yesterday was the mysterious capital that initially invested 5 billion in the Hong Kong stock market. Jiang Qianyu's admission meant that they were the ones who crashed the market with 5 billion.

"Of course!"

Since the shorting incident had been exposed, Jiang Qianyu no longer hid it. She opened her phone account, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said,

"Look at the number of digits in my phone account."

"1, 2, 3... 7, 8... 11!"

Looking at the string of numbers on the stock page, Shen Yifei's eyes widened, and his heart pounded uncontrollably.

Even though he was a tycoon with a net worth of nearly 10 billion.

He had never seen anyone with stock assets exceeding 10 billion, more than his own net worth.

If all these stock assets were his, how wonderful that would be!

In an instant,

Shen Yifei felt his mouth go dry.

"This is just one of the accounts!"

Jiang Qianyu watched Shen Yifei's expression, then calmly put away her phone, saying, "I have other accounts like this!"

"And our ability to earn over 20 billion is all thanks to Mr. Gao!"

"Originally, I had no idea that Feima Group could be shorted. It was Mr. Gao who provided us with the information.

Originally, we didn't know about Feima Auto Group's loopholes and weaknesses. It was Mr. Gao who pointed out Feima Group's fraudulent transactions and gave us the evidence."

Gao Ze was actually the mastermind behind shorting Feima Auto Group!

Shen Yifei's gaze involuntarily shifted to the handsome man beside him, his heart tightening.

Gao Ze was an official, capable of grasping critical loopholes in Feima Group.

That proved his official identity was likely far from simple on the surface. He must possess immense power and influence. A single piece of news, a single action, could potentially bring huge profits to a company.

It could also stir up a massive storm in Donghai City's business circle, causing a booming enterprise to collapse.

So why would Gao Ze care about the 500 million he offered?

Shen Yifei felt he had been extremely offensive just now and immediately apologized,

"Mr. Gao, I'm sorry, I spoke too loudly just now."

"I was truly like a summer insect that cannot comprehend ice, but it's simply because I am so eager to cooperate with you."

"Chairman Shen doesn't understand me, so it's normal for us to have a misunderstanding. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, it's fine."

Gao Ze patted Shen Yifei's shoulder and chuckled, "Besides, you helped me and my friend before."

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Gao!"

"It's my fortune to be able to help you. This time, your friend's game studio is in trouble, and I must do my best to help you resolve it. I won't say another word!"

Shen Yifei tightly held Gao Ze's hand, his face beaming with enthusiastic smiles.

Of course, he wouldn't believe Gao Ze's words that resolving the misunderstanding would be enough. Conflicts and offenses between adults, once words have been spoken, can only be compensated with action to show sincerity.

He had to resolve Liu Jingming's studio matter well this time to have any chance of truly gaining Gao Ze's understanding.

Furthermore, resolving this matter

was related to whether he could establish a connection with Gao Ze.

Shen Yifei glanced at Jiang Qianyu and Lili. Why were they able to short Feima Group at the first opportunity and profit over 20 billion? Wasn't it because Gao Ze was behind them?

What if Gao Ze was also behind him?

"Mr. Gao, what are your hobbies usually? What do you like?"

Upon entering the bar, Shen Yifei hovered around Gao Ze, chatting incessantly, giving Jiang Qianyu and Lili no chance to interject.

Jiang Qianyu and Lili exchanged glances, their eyes expressing wordless resignation.

Ever since Shen Yifei understood Gao Ze's influence, he had started acting like this. It wasn't that it was completely unacceptable, but it was too blunt and lacked finesse.

No wonder Shen Yifei's game company didn't have strong official connections.

Who would want to stick with such a persistent nuisance?

........

..........

"Lili, go to the bar entrance and help me pick up Qing Shu!"

"She's bringing Liu Jingming over now."

Gao Ze received a message from Li Qingshu and asked Lili to pick her up. Two or three minutes later, Li Qingshu walked into the bar, followed by two men.

One of them, a man in his early thirties, with a proper appearance, wearing jeans and a plaid shirt, was Liu Jingming.

Gao Ze had seen Liu Jingming's photo on WeChat before, but this was his first time seeing him in person.

The other man was another shareholder of the game studio who supported Liu Jingming.

"Mr. Gao, I've brought Liu Jingming!"

"I talked to Liu Jingming, but he didn't agree. He still insists on shares and profits from me."

Li Qingshu's eyes immediately found Gao Ze sitting in the main seat, and her mood quickly settled. Then, her gaze swept around, and she immediately saw a delicate-faced, powerful-aura woman standing beside Gao Ze.

At the same time,

a middle-aged man was also standing behind Gao Ze.

"Shen Yifei!"

Li Qingshu's pupils constricted. After taking charge of the promotion and operational marketing for the Sheep A Sheep game,

she had recently acquired a lot of knowledge about games and memorized the key figures in Donghai City's game industry.

Shen Yifei was the chairman of Shengyou Group, a well-known game company in Donghai City.

He had even given up on investing in the Sheep A Sheep game back then, which left a deep impression on her.

"Shen Yifei is here!"

Li Qingshu recognized Shen Yifei. Liu Jingming, as a game producer who had been deeply rooted in the industry, also recognized his identity.

And he hadn't forgotten.

Back then, he had been negotiating well with Shengyou Group's investment department, but for some unknown reason, Shengyou Group gave up on investing in the Sheep A Sheep game, forcing him to humble himself to Li Qingshu and let Li Qingshu invest in the game.

"Mr. Gao, hello!"

Shen Yifei's arrival made Liu Jingming feel a sense of unease, but as he looked at Gao Ze, he also felt a glimmer of confidence.

When Li Qingshu negotiated with him today, she mentioned that a man was behind her. As long as he met the man behind her and convinced him, Li Qingshu would agree to any terms.

For this,

Liu Jingming had full confidence.

No matter who it was, as long as they weren't a core figure in the gaming industry, even if Li Qingshu had a very rich young master behind her, it didn't matter.

They didn't understand game production, operation, maintenance, and other tasks. These were his bargaining chips.

Gao Ze glanced at Liu Jingming. Liu Jingming didn't seem to follow trending news and didn't recognize him.

"Mr. Liu, hello. I heard Qing Shu say you want to increase your shares by 30%!"

Back then, Li Qingshu invested 20 million in Liu Jingming's struggling game studio, taking a 65% stake, while Liu Jingming held 20%, and other core team members held 15%.

Now, Liu Jingming was demanding 30% of the shares, which would halve Li Qingshu's and Gao Ze's share of the profits.

"That's right, but Mr. Gao, please don't misunderstand."

"Of the 30% shares, half, 15%, is for the other core game team members, and the other half, 15%, is for me."

Liu Jingming nodded, saying calmly, "I believe that the Sheep A Sheep game's current success is largely due to our original core team. Originally, you took advantage of our vulnerability, leading to an imbalance in our profit distribution. I believe we need to renegotiate."

"Your friend, Li Qingshu, President Li, should hold 35%, I hold 35%, and the core team members hold 30%. This is reasonable, and the profits and say of all parties will be more balanced."

Alright, alright, taking advantage of vulnerability.

Back then, Liu Jingming's studio couldn't even pay the salaries of its game development team members and was on the verge of falling apart.

Now, he and Li Qingshu had become the villains.

Gao Ze was about to speak when Shen Yifei, behind him, glared and said,

"Liu Jingming, get lost!"

"Do you have no shame? Back then, your game studio had no investors and was about to go bankrupt. If President Li hadn't injected capital into you, you'd all be starving.

Now that the game is showing signs of success, you've only made a few tens of millions, and you're already jumping out to grab profits. You're being too greedy."
