Not many people know Gu Bai.
Gu Bai doesn’t know many people either.
Naturally, no one ca over to disturb him. After strolling around a bit, Gu Bai found that this so-called high-class business cocktail party was actually just like that. In fact, the value of these wines couldn’t even compare to those at the family party he held a few days ago, so Gu Bai sat on the sofa, holding his wine glass, chatting with Xiao Qiang.
Xiao Qiang wasn’t sitting with Gu Bai but was slightly bending over, listening to Gu Bai’s words, occasionally adding a few responses.
After welcoming the invited guests, Yang Function also returned to her original circle.
Just as she ca back, she saw Long Dan Ni walking over with a smile and asking, "Mimi, who is that young guy?"
For this cocktail party with an average age over 30, Gu Bai’s youthful face seed sowhat out of place, and Long Dan Ni was understandably curious.
"What’s up, Sister Ni, do you want to sign him to your company?"
Yang Function and Long Dan Ni had collaborated on the recently concluded popular show "Future Son". They had been friends for many years, so their conversation was quite informal.
Hearing Yang Function’s words, Long Dan Ni couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her.
Anyone who can appear at such an occasion, even if young, would definitely not be just anyone. She wouldn’t entertain such a ridiculous thought.
Yang Function didn’t continue joking, instead saying seriously, "You shouldn’t underestimate him just because he’s young. Sister Ni must have heard of the big shot who suddenly erged in the capital circle recently?"
"Black Swan Capital?"
Previously, when Black Swan Capital injected 500 million, it already drew so attention. However, in the capital market, 500 million is neither too little nor too much, so it wasn’t taken too seriously.
But after a big news broke out a few days ago, not just the capital circle but even the entertainnt and finance sectors influenced by capital were all shaken.
Black Swan Capital announced another investnt of 10 billion!
Perhaps so people aren’t clear about the concept of 10 billion. To put it in perspective, in 2016, the total box office in Hua Country was only over 40 billion, which ans this one company alone could sustain a quarter of the film industry for a year!
Seeing Yang Function nod, Long Dan Ni couldn’t help but ask in shock.
"Is he the son of that big shot?"
Yang Function shook her head: "According to my information, this company is his alone. The entire company’s equity structure isn’t hidden; he’s the sole independent shareholder."
Long Dan Ni is soone who has seen big scenes. Perhaps the second generation of a billion-dollar capital company might not catch her eye, but a president controlling 10 billion capital, that would surely get her attention.
Moreover, with Gu Bai being so young, to harness such a fortune, there’s only one possibility - there’s an even more terrifying background supporting him from behind!
"How did you get such a person for a TV project?"
Long Dan Ni was very puzzled.
"A few days ago, I happened to hear that their company was looking for film project investnts, plus my relationship with his good friend, Principal Wang, is pretty decent, so I got their company’s contact information and tried sending an invitation. I just didn’t expect he’d attend personally—I thought even if he ca, it would probably be soone from the executive level."
This point, even Yang Function wasn’t very clear about. After all, her project’s target was only 500 million, and the largest piece of the pie had almost been divided already. She didn’t expect Gu Bai, the president, would co personally.
"I want to approach him, do you think it’s okay?"
Yang Function is the host of this cocktail party, so it’s best to discuss with her first before disturbing her guests.
"Do you want to ask him about investnt?"
Long Dan Ni nodded; there was no need to hide anything from Yang Function because half of the entertainnt circle knew the current situation of her company. Since leaving Tianyu dia, her forr resources were almost half lost. If it weren’t for the popular variety show "Future Son" this year, she might have declared bankruptcy.
"I think you should wait until the investnt bidding ends here. I’m definitely okay, but you know the bid is ultimately led by Tencent and Lemon Film and Television. ssing it up would benefit no one."
Long Dan Ni was also worried sick about the company’s situation. Reminded by Yang Function, she imdiately ca to her senses, smiling apologetically at her: "I was too anxious."
It’s no wonder she’s in a hurry.
If Long Dan Ni, backed by Tianyu dia and Mango TV, was once the top star-maker in the entertainnt industry, without these giants, she’s nothing.
She has imnse talent but no way to put it to use. Being suppressed by giants is one reason, but more crucial is lacking capital support. Although this collaboration with Tencent for "Future Son" is highly regarded, it’s not yet at a level that capital can resist the pressure from Tianyu and Mango TV to work with her.
Of course, except for Tencent.
Currently, Tencent is Hua Country’s most premier capital giant; no one dares to challenge this colossal entity. But clearly, Long Dan Ni’s current company "Wajijiwa Entertainnt" isn’t worth Tencent’s investnt.
It wasn’t until seeing Gu Bai at the banquet that she glimpsed a shred of hope.
Now she only hopes Gu Bai can recognize the potential and invest in Wajijiwa. As long as there’s investnt, Long Dan Ni has the confidence to return to her pinnacle mont as the top star-maker.
Not far away, Gu Bai, leaning on the sofa, sipping wine and chatting, was unaware he was already targeted, still joking around with Xiao Qiang, occasionally tossing out a bawdy joke, which made Xiao Qiang unsure whether to laugh or not, her cheek full of collagen visibly creased from sheer embarrassnt.
After so ti, Gu Bai was starting to get a little bored, having had several glasses of wine.
Finally, with Yang Function’s announcent, the cocktail party moved to the main event.
Yang Function, in an enchanting red dress, stood on stage and raised her unique voice to say, "The bidding eting for the ’Fuyao’ project officially begins. Please invite representatives to co over for detailed discussions."
Among the dozens of people at the party, not everyone was invited over for investnt purposes. So were just there to expand their networks, hoping to attract investnt, like Long Dan Ni was thinking.
In less than half a minute, Yang Function’s assistant respectfully invited Gu Bai: "President Gu, you are an invited representative. Please proceed to the conference room for this investnt discussion."
Gu Bai nodded, stood up.
A multi-billion investnt negotiation, of course, couldn’t start just in public view. Gu Bai wasn’t surprised by the conference room invitation, and accompanied by Xiao Qiang, followed Yang Function’s assistant to the conference room.
