How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 540 - 248: Age Brings Pains...

Once inside...

Gu Heng paid no mind to Yang Hanshu’s peculiar gaze, still standing in front of the floor-length mirror, adjusting his dragon robe...

While tidying up, he called out, "Mr. Yang, there are no outsiders in the room now. Can you speak about the purpose of your visit?"

Yang Hanshu, still dressed in her attire with a touch of ancient style, didn’t feel embarrassed by Gu Heng’s straightforward question. Her bright eyes twinkled with a clever smile, not at all resembling a woman in her 40s, as if time hadn’t left many marks on her. She seemed more like a woman in her 30s, at the prime of her charm...

"Didn’t I say before coming in, I’d like to talk to you about the screenplay~"

If it were any ordinary woman, especially one approaching 40, posing like a young girl in front of him, Gu Heng might have already called security to escort her out...

But this was Mi...

Like Liu Yifei, the two evergreen trees in Hua Entertainment’s novel world that wouldn’t topple...

Although she was older now, perhaps due to the celebrity halo effect, Gu Heng didn’t find her repulsive. On the contrary, he felt a certain inexplicable meaning rising from within, subsequently turning to look at her with a teasing gaze...

After staring for a full thirty seconds, it was Yang Hanshu who ultimately looked away, defeated.

Gu Heng didn’t intend to continue the invasive eye contact, returning to his normal demeanor, and said slowly, "If you have something to talk about, you can say it directly. I am not very formal, there’s no need to beat around the bush around me.

But if you really plan to chat about the screenplay, then I suggest you can turn right as you leave. I have zero interest in the screenplay you’re holding."

Listening to Gu Heng’s blunt words, Yang Hanshu also put away her pretentious expression, and sat up straight.

"Since Mr. Gu is so straightforward, I shall not beat around the bush either. I would like to propose a cooperation."

"Cooperation?"

Gu Heng was curious.

"Yes, cooperation."

Seeing Yang Hanshu’s serious demeanor, Gu Heng was convinced she wasn’t here in the middle of the night to get paparazzi photos in his room to leverage the current online craze about him. He then took out two wine glasses, poured the already decanted red wine into them, handed one to Yang Hanshu, and sat in front of her, wearing his golden yellow dragon robe, with a leisurely posture.

"How do you propose we cooperate?"

Upon hearing Gu Heng’s response, Yang Hanshu eagerly said, "Before we talk about cooperation, I would like to ask if Mr. Gu has any plans to enter the entertainment industry? Although this question is a bit abrupt, it is fundamental to our cooperation.

Of course, if it involves business secrets, you don’t have to answer me."

Gu Heng swirled the red wine in his hand, and from his expression alone, Yang Hanshu couldn’t tell anything.

Had Gu Heng planned on investing in the entertainment industry?

He had.

This was a new business direction chosen by the company’s senior management recently.

In the entertainment industry, capital is king.

With IDE Capital and Gu Heng, a major financier controlling such a large cash flow, it would indeed be hard to justify not getting involved.

Moreover, as the company’s group strategy deepened, they had begun to lay out various industries. Entering the entertainment industry couldn’t be kept secret for long. It would become public knowledge sooner or later. Even the industry veterans had already deduced this based on IDE Capital’s actions, so it certainly didn’t qualify as a trade secret.

With this in mind, Gu Heng didn’t play coy, took a sip of red wine, nodded slightly, and said, "Tonight at the wine reception, Director Zhang from Wanda was correct, I have indeed established a subsidiary called IDE Film and Television, and the company’s registered capital is indeed 2 billion yuan."

Seeing Gu Heng’s acknowledgment, joy flashed across Yang Hanshu’s face.

Seeing the barely concealed happiness on Yang Hanshu’s face, Gu Heng was somewhat puzzled and continued, "However, what does this have to do with our cooperation?"

Yang Hanshu’s smile persisted, "I am happy to have a strong partner for cooperation."

Gu Heng gave a noncommittal shrug, "It seems that Mr. Yang is quite confident about this cooperation? Let’s skip the small talk then, and discuss the content of the cooperation."

Taking a deep breath, Yang Hanshu went straight to her well-prepared plan, "I plan to incorporate my studio into a company, and I’m sincerely inviting Mr. Gu to invest in my soon-to-be-established company."

Gu Heng’s expression: "???"

Had this woman lost her mind?

Running to his room in the middle of the night, brazenly asking to talk about cooperation, and after all this time, she wants him to invest in her company?

If he remembered correctly, hadn’t this lady been taken advantage of by capitalists just a while ago? Her company, which she’d worked to death to take public, had kicked her right out after the IPO. And that kick hadn’t even left her limping? Was she still dreaming of becoming a big capital in the entertainment industry?

Did she take him for a fool?

Immediately, the interested expression on Gu Heng’s face vanished, and he said in a flat tone, "If it’s about investment, you actually didn’t need to find me. IDE Capital is a formal investment company, with professional investment departments inside. Mr. Yang, you can visit our investment department if you have time. Regarding investment, I’ve delegated all authority and do not participate in any decision-making."

The rejection was simple and clear.

Yang Hanshu, as shrewd as they come, had been through the ups and downs of the entertainment industry for decades, so how could she not understand Gu Heng’s implication? Yet, she didn’t give up and spoke again, "Mr. Gu, I don’t know if you’ve heard about my achievements..."
