Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 331: Seeking job
"Mr. Daniel, although our weapons are indeed not as advanced as those of the Eagle, the Eagle might not possess the ruling power we have in Europe!"
"In the past, the Ross Consortium was around, their intricate global industrial relations linked this organization together. But now, without the Ross Consortium, it’s impossible for the likes of Angsa and Rockfield from the native Eagle to infiltrate our European powers!"
At the Windsor royal family, Prince William said, "I dare say, Mr. Gu must not be satisfied with merely making the Eagle obedient. If the people from Angsa can work for Mr. Gu, then we surely can too. If Mr. Gu doesn’t mind, we guarantee that just like how we once followed the Ross Consortium, we will serve Mr. Gu as our boss, solely to foster this peaceful situation so that the ’Global Village’ project can proceed smoothly."
"Hmph!" Daniel scoffed with a frown, "What? You think that with you, you can stir the world into chaos and create trouble for the ’Global Village’ project?"
"We wouldn’t dare!" The old King Philip quickly glared at his son, as several people bowed their heads in apology.
As soon as the car reached the tee, Daniel Liu got out, and William hurriedly handed him the golf club with an apologetic gesture.
Daniel Liu adjusted to a standard stance, then took a powerful swing.
"Excellent!"
The onlookers immediately showered him with flattery.
A female companion promptly came over with an umbrella to shield Daniel Liu.
Seeing that the ball hadn’t gone in, Daniel Liu lost interest in continuing the game, he exhaled and said, "I’ve had fun these past few days, thank you for your hospitality."
He casually handed the club back to William, and while taking off his gloves, he climbed into the car, saying, "The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the ’Global Village’ project starts in half a month. Presidents from around the world will gather in Dragon Nation to attend, and you should all come too. I will take you to meet my boss that day."
The family members present were delighted.
After several days of toiling, they had finally managed to pry an opportunity open.
Daniel Liu took the water from his female companion, and while drinking, he said, "You go back and discuss among yourselves, think about what gifts to prepare. Once you have a list, send a representative ahead of time to Dragon Nation to meet my wife."
The people present immediately understood.
"Rest assured, Mr. Daniel, we will prepare a loyalty gift list as soon as possible."
Meanwhile.
In Shencheng City, Dragon Nation, inside the upscale private tea restaurant opened by Guo Yunfan.
Xu Xing and Mr. Zhang Yiming, the CEO of a certain sound company, were sitting with a nervous yet ingratiating smile, gazing at the woman seated before them, casually crossing her legs and reviewing documents and contracts.
This woman was none other than Lin Yu’s fiancée, Pei Li, the chief steward of the Lin Family!
Zhang Yiming had the fortune to meet Pei Li at the Gu Family’s eldest grandson’s hundred-days feast, an event he attended as a representative of local enterprises from Shencheng.
After waiting a few days, he finally got the chance to meet with Pei Li alone when she had some free time.
Not for anything else, but because Zhang Yiming’s sound company overseas was being blocked.
That the Eagle enjoys harvesting leeks is not a secret, they’re second to none in the world in this regard, with no one daring to claim the first place.
They welcome all foreign investors, but once your company reaches a certain scale and shows potential, they’ll find a variety of security reasons to shut down your company or factory.
You either have to hire the best lawyers to grind it out, or sell it at a low price to some other company from the Eagle ready to take over.
Zhang Yiming’s sound company has the potential to become another unicorn to rival ’Facebook’, and of course, they wouldn’t let it go.
Hence, they’ve been collaborating with many countries overseas, including those from Europa, to ban the international version of the sound company, in an attempt to force Zhang Yiming to sell to an Eagle enterprise at a low price!
The Longwei Group fought in court for how many years before they were let go, so just imagine, how could Zhang Yiming, a private enterprise without any overseas influence, possibly compete with them?
Pei Li straightened up and took a leisurely sip of her afternoon tea after looking over Zhang Yiming’s stock transfer agreement.
She asked, "If the overseas version can be fully operational, how much do you think its market value could be?"
Zhang Yiming replied, "I wouldn’t dare to say it could replace Facebook, but it will definitely be worth more than any domestic internet company. I estimate it will start at a minimum of five hundred billion US dollars!"
Pei Li glanced at the 15% stake offered to her in the contract and weighed whether this exchange of resources was worth her involvement.
Zhang Yiming, observing her silence, became increasingly anxious.
If Pei Li didn’t make a move, he didn’t know where else he could find a more capable channel than the Lin Family to resolve his company’s troubles.
Zhang Yiming quickly upped the ante, "President Pei, we can discuss the equity side further. Our board of directors can offer you up to 20% at the most!"
Eagle had offered 50 billion US dollars to buy his overseas company, which was less than one-tenth of their valuation!
Rather than accepting that, it made more sense to offer 20% equity in exchange for a solution. If they could overcome this hurdle, with a future market value of 500 billion US dollars, their 80% stake would be worth four hundred billion US dollars. That was far better than holding onto 50 billion US dollars.
Without a word, Pei Li elegantly hooked her phone from the table with her slender fingers, swiped the screen with her manicured nail, and dialed a number.
On the other end of the phone was Daniel Liu. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"Mr. Liu, are you busy?" Pei Li greeted with a smile.
"Not too bad," Daniel Liu laughed on the other end. "Miss Pei, is there something you need?"
"You’re joking," Pei Li smiled. "It’s not so much instructions as asking for your help."
She informed Daniel Liu about the situation with the music app and casually said, "If it’s too much trouble or hard to handle, then never mind."
To her surprise, Daniel Liu responded with ease, "This matter isn’t so troublesome. I’ll just give a heads-up to their person in charge; I expect that the company’s ban can be lifted and operations resumed in no more than two days."
Pei Li said, "Then I really appreciate it, Daniel. When you’re back in the country, I’ll definitely treat you to a meal."
Daniel Liu replied, "No need to be polite, Miss Pei. I’ll actually be heading over in a few days, and I might need to report to the wife, so I’ll trouble you to arrange a meeting with her."
Pei Li responded, "Sure, I’ll make sure to pass the message."
Having finished the conversation, Pei Li hung up the phone.
She then gestured for her assistant to fetch a pen from her briefcase, and she signed her name on the transfer agreement that Zhang Yiming had provided.
Subsequently, she handed the contract to her secretary to be filed away.
She quickly grabbed her shoulder bag, stood up, and said, "Mr. Zhang, you can tell your overseas operations team to expect the servers to be unblocked in about two days. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be going now. No need to see me out."
With that, she left efficiently and confidently.
Zhang Yiming stood there, rooted to the spot, unable to process what had just happened, wondering whether to stay seated or to see her out.
"Is that it? Just like that?" he asked Xu Xing, feeling as though it was almost too trivial.
"We don’t need to make a trip over to Eagle for business entertaining or spend any other money?"
Zhang Yiming remembered how he had spent a lot of money embedding himself in various high-societal circles in Eagle, exhausting himself, only to have his efforts amount to nothing.
And now, you resolve everything with less than a minute’s phone call?
Xu Xing gave him a contemptuous glance and said, "The approach and efficiency differ on different levels. Since Miss Pei has said so and accepted your equity, it’s definitely going to be fine."
