Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Early the next morning, Zhou Chao got up promptly. After all, it was going to be a busy day. He changed into his clothes, took his car keys, and left the house, driving his Lamborghini Veneno out of The Palms Residence.
“Hey, Ling Chen, did you arrange the things I told you about last night?”
“Boss, I already inford my colleagues in the legal departnt last night, and they have prepared the contracts. When you co to the company, you can sign the contracts directly!”
“Alright, I’m on my way to the company now. That’ll do for now.” Zhou Chao hung up the phone after speaking.
After Si Cong and Hou Ting left his place last night, he called Ling Chen and briefly explained the matter, asking him to arrange the signing of the contract for this morning.
In just 10 minutes, Zhou Chao arrived at the Jinmao Tower where the group was located. When he reached Ling Chen’s office, it was only a little past 10 o’clock, half an hour before their agreed-upon ti of 10:30.
“Boss, why did you decide to acquire an esports club?” Ling Chen handed a cup of tea to Zhou Chao and asked curiously.
“You’ll find out in the future,” Zhou Chao said confidently, fully aware of the allure of the esports industry.
Ling Chen didn’t press further, knowing that the boss must have his own plans.
“By the way, Lao Ling, arrange for an operations expert to handle matters related to the club. They don’t need to understand everything, just be good at operations and promotion.”
“Understood, Boss. I’ll make the arrangents quickly. Also, Boss, the two people you ntioned last night, we’ve already contacted their club early this morning. We’ve offered them a deal that’s 20% higher than their current market value, and we’ve reached an agreent. We also agreed not to publicize it for now.”
Zhou Chao clapped his hands and laughed heartily. “Well done! Everything is in place now, just waiting for the final move. Arrange for them to co to Modu as soon as possible. If there are any issues to be resolved, the group can help them out.”
“Got it, Boss!”
With work matters settled, the two of them switched to casual conversation. Ti quickly passed, and it was soon 10:30. The assistant’s knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
“Boss, Director Ling, Mr. Cong and Mr. Hou have arrived!”
“Good, I know. Let’s go together, Lao Ling. Also, inform the legal departnt to bring the contracts!”
Ling Chen gave a knowing look to the assistant, who promptly left to notify the legal departnt.
Zhou Chao and Ling Chen then proceeded to the eting room, where they saw Si Cong and Hou Ting engaged in conversation. Two elite individuals were also present, serving as the legal representatives brought by Hou Ting.
“Chao!”
“Young Master Zhou!”
As Zhou Chao entered, Si Cong and Hou Ting, who were chatting, quickly stood up and greeted him.
“Don’t be so polite. Please have a seat!” Zhou Chao invited them to sit down, and Ling Chen also took a seat next to Zhou Chao.
At this mont, the secretary brought in several cups of tea and was accompanied by colleagues from the legal departnt.
Zhou Chao took the contracts and handed them to Hou Ting without hesitation. Hou Ting didn’t waste any ti either. After receiving the contracts, he had his own legal representative review them. anwhile, he engaged in conversation with Zhou Chao and the others.
“Sicong, have you considered it? The price is up to you.”
“It’s all because Young Master Zhou was the one who personally made the offer. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t even bother negotiating. Let’s go with the market price. Three people, a total of 36 million. 1 won’t take advantage of you.” Si Cong thought about it for a long ti last night and ultimately decided to sell. It was beneficial for him in the end.
“Thank you for that. I appreciate your understanding. Ling Chen, have your colleagues in the legal departnt fill in the contract with a direct transaction price of 50 million.”
“Understood, boss.”
When Zhou Chao agreed to the deal, Si Cong couldn’t help but smile brightly. He knew that having soone as influential as Zhou Chao owe him a favor could be incredibly valuable and even life-saving in certain situations.
However, when Si Cong heard Zhou Chao ntion 50 million, he quickly said, “Isn’t that too much?”
“I’m already asking you to make a painful decision, so I can only compensate you a little more.”
“Alright, since you’re not short on money, I won’t be stubborn about it.”
Soon, the personnel from the group’s legal departnt entered the room again, holding a contract. Zhou Chao handed it directly to Si Cong.
Without even glancing at the contract, Si Cong flipped to the last page, signed his na, and then used the company’s official seal. He handed the contract back to Zhou Chao with a casual “smack.”
Everyone in the eting room was stunned by Si Cong’s actions, including Zhou Chao. After all, they had never seen anything like it before.
With a bemused expression, Zhou Chao looked at Si Cong and asked, “Don’t you want to take a look at the contract? Aren’t you afraid I might scam you?”
“Scam ? I’m not even sure my entire wealth could get you to take seriously, let alone this small amount!” While Si Cong’s words were blunt, they held a valid point, and Zhou Chao didn’t take offense.
Hou Ting, on the other hand, understood the situation perfectly and gave a knowing look to his legal representative. Fortunately, the person he had brought with him knew how to handle things. He quickly handed the contract to Hou Ting.
Hou Ting took the contract without any hesitation, swiftly signed all the necessary parts, even stamped the company’s seal, and handed it back to Zhou Chao.
“Young Master Hou, are you following his example too?” Zhou Chao held the contract and was sowhat surprised by Hou Ting’s behavior.
“Si Cong is such a shrewd person. How could he get a raw deal? Besides, if he dares to do it, why wouldn’t I?” Hou Ting said this, and Si Cong even discreetly gave him a thumbs-up.
Zhou Chao didn’t say much in response to their actions. Instead, he handed the contract to Ling Chen, who promptly stamped it. Each party kept a copy, and the signing was quickly concluded.
“Alright, with the business out of the way, let’s go take a look at the place you ntioned as the future club!” Si Cong couldn’t contain his excitent and got up to prepare to leave as soon as the work was done.
“You guys wait for outside. I’ll give so instructions and join you shortly!” Upon hearing this, Si Cong and his legal representative left for the outside, while the employees from the group also sensibly exited the eting room.
“Ling Chen, you’ll need to put so effort into the club’s matters, get the personnel in place. I hope to have them ready within two days at the latest. Also, rember the live-streaming equipnt I ntioned before. You need to manage that well; it will beco a substantial cash flow in the future.”
“Don’t worry, boss. 1’11 arrange everything as soon as possible.”
“Alright, then I’ll take my leave. Thank you for your hard work!” Zhou Chao said, picked up his keys, and headed outside.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Si Cong and Hou Ting sitting in the public reception area, chatting.
“Let’s go. 1’11 take you to see what the new club looks like!”
“Let’s go, let’s see how luxurious it is!”
The three of them took the elevator down to the basent, and then three supercars drove out of the Jinmao Tower’s underground garage, heading towards Pudong..
